Pentax Optio S1 prices and specs
The Optio S1 was released on Mar 2, 2011 and is sold in USA for 255.28.
The Optio S1 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Optio S1 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't get photographs of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can take pictures at 14 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Optio S1 has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the Optio S1 will produce pictures with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio S1 has portable size. But if you want to shoot pictures of the professional quality check Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.
The Optio S1 has max shutter speed of 1/1500 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway the photographer will manage to take pictures of moving objects. The camera owner will be able to record HD videos that guarantees a satisfactory image quality.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens provides satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
The Optio S1 battery life will be enough to capture about 260 pictures.
