'The Optio X has a wide range of functions, including Program AE shooting, 16 scene modes, exposure compensation ( 2 EV in 1/3 EV steps), auto bracketing, and more.'
'new, supposedly improved image processor'
'The Pentax Optio X's image quality was mediocre at best, with less sharpness than we expected from a 5-megapixel camera and with abundant JPEG artifacts visible at even the lowest compression settings.'
'With the optional, acrylic waterproof housing that is newly-designed for the Optio S4i, everywhere may well include the exciting world of underwater digital photography'
'large prints and full-size viewing it's disappointing.'
'If you have large hands, the S4i's small size will pose a challenge when you try to change the zoom with your thumb and keep your finger on the trigger while holding the camera one-handed.'
'Unfortunately, the resolution of the screen is not so hot, with just 85k pixels (compare that with 118k pixels on the PowerShot S410's 1.5" display).'
'For a start, there?s no smart design to compromise ? this new Optio comes in a plastic case that couldn?t be any more traditional if it had half-timbered walls'
