    Good Points: Excellent pictures
    Very good movie (best I've seen in compact camera and MPEG4 compresion)
    Small
    Good looking
    Loads of options, but works great as a point and shoot too.
    Rechargable with cradle (good in my books)
    SD Card


    Bad Points: Like most digi compact cameras, no case included


    General comments: Pentax Optio S5n - Fantastic purchase, exceeded my expectations.
    Who needs a viewfinder? They are wholly inaccurate (especially if you wear glasses.
    Screen works well in all lights.
    Very easy to use.
    Been using for a few months and other people who have seen the results are very very impressed with the quality.

    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.
