    When you buy the Pentax Optio S50 digital camera, you're buying a piece of technology that, if treated right, will be good to you for years.

    I bought a Pentax Optio S50 camera because my old Canon digital was too bulky. The price is excellent considering the features and size. Very compact, easy to use and 5m pixels!

    I soon found that battery life is about 15 photos... REALLY! I am currently trying to contact Pentax to see if there is ...
