Good Points
Very compact (I use an Altoids tin as a case for it).
Quick start up.
A macro and super macro function which work beautifully.
Bad Points
Only 3.2MP, but it was good for back in the day.
General Comments
I purchased my Pentax Optio S a few years ago, and it has served me well. The battery lasts a very long time and is rechargeable. This camera is so tiny, I believe it was the smallest 3.2 MP camera at the time that it first came out.
I love this camera so much, but I plan to sell it and buy a camera with a higher Mega-pixel. I plan to get the Optio S5Z, which is basically the same camera, just that it has 5MP instead of 3.2MP.
This camera is also nice and sturdy. It's all aluminum body has protected it very well.
