Pentax Optio S6

Guide price: £180.00

Extremely compact 6 megapixel digital camera. This camera is not for the large handed! it really is tiny, but extremely desirable for it and made out of milled metal- so it is very handbag friendly. Start-up is not the quickest, nor is its ability to focus on a subject, shutter lag is also quite lengthy. The positives start now! The rear screen is lovely,big,clear and sharp and the camera has a logical pictoral menu system, which is easy to use. The LCD screen is easy to see in all lighting conditions- inside and out, although the display can get a little grainy in low light.

Movie recording is handled well and are recorded in DIVX format which means they are very expertly compressed without too much loss of quality.

Great Features: All metal construction, Large internal memory, Quality Pentax lens, Easy to use and 6 megapixel low noise, quality results. This model is also exceptional at Portrait photography as the skin tones are lovely and natural and feature just the right amount of sharpness.

The really great thing about this camera is the quality of the Pentax lens and the beautifully rendered, colourful (but still natural) photographs that it produces and this is probably the main feature you will buy this particular model for. The market is full of ultra-compact stylish cameras, this Pentax has style and substance.
