General Comments

The Pentax Optio S5n follows a recent trend in that it has no viewfinder - a serious omission in my opinion. This makes for slow, indecisive photography at best. The LCD is hard to view at night.

It's pictures are softer than they should be for a camera of its class, and more contrasty, too, which leads to burnt-out highlights.

In short, I can recommend this camera only to the least discerning of photographers.
