      Pentax Optio S

      By Geoff Harris

      Review summary: Sure it's petite, but is the Optio S the Audrey Hepburn of digital cameras, or simply the Janette Krankie?

      Digital Cameras - Pentax Optio S Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

      Verdict: The Optio S has a 3x zoom, 5.8-17.4mm lens, the equivalent of a 35-105mm lens on a 35mm camera. The lens is where Pentax made their real innovation with this camera, in that its internal elements actually "unstack" as the lens retracts, arranging ...
