Best Pentax Digital Cameras - Fixed Focus Focus Type

'outrageously slow maximum aperture'

'Things we don't like are the adjustable diopter slider (hard to push with the rubber eyepiece attached), the nonilluminating control panel on top (not visible in low light), battery compartment switch on the bottom (difficult to close), and memory card door (inadvertently opening it during a read/write cycle can scramble the images on the card).'

'it does not write RAW files.'

'poor JPEG performance'

'At the highest JPEG setting, it seemed like the rate was around 1 frame/sec, which isn't terribly impressive'

'In practice--or more accurately, at a peewee football game--the S50's performance was simply frustrating.'
