Pentax Optio s5n - Digital camera reviews

Pentax has used its proprietary Sliding Lens System to create the Optio S5N 3X zoom lens, which comes in at just 20.5 mm wide. This model has been designed to fit in with Pentax's concept of 'stylish and classy'. Spec wise it can capture VGA-quality movie clips which can be played back on the 2.0-inch LCD. The Optio S5n comes with a stand which charges spare batteries and those in the camera.

It comes with a very capable 5.2 mega pixel CCD sensor which helps to deliver pin point crystal clear images, which can then be viewed on the 2 inch monitor to the rear of the camera. An added extra that is not found on many other digital cameras is the ability to customise buttons and functions at the touch of a button. The camera requires 4 AA or two CR-v3 type batteries. It also takes images in full glory in RAW format.

This Optio digital camera uses SD memory cards.
