Pentax Optio S1 Review
Review posted 6/08/2011
The letter "S" stands for stylish, at least that's what we believe with the Optio S1. This is an ultra-compact digicam that has three major offerings: compact size, stylish looks, and ease of use.
Once you understand those, the S1 is a pretty standard 14-megapixel digicam in the sub $200 digital camera markets. Other important features include a 2.7-inch LCD screen, 720p HD video recording, intelligent "Auto Picture" mode, and in-camera HDR; to name a few.
Pentax Optio S1 Major Features:
The
Pentax Optio S1 is available now with a MSRP of $199.95 US. You can
choose a Black, Green, and Chrome.

Bottom Line |
| The Optio S1 is a "cute" little camera, that offers some pretty standard features for a 14-megapixel camera; all of which are stuffed in a petite and stylish shell. However, we feel you'd be better off looking at other Optio models for the price; like the RS1500 which is about $50 less. Read more in our Full Conclusion. |
