Product Rating: 3.85 star(s) Pentax Optio S55 Review and Where to Find the Best Prices

Comments:
Pentax Optio S55 Review. This is a stylish digital camera. It has a metal body and five megapixels and a three times zoom lens.

Review Verdict: I have mixed feelings about the Pentax Optio S55. Outdoor landscape shots are very good indeed, but the camera struggles in other areas. Against that the camera is relatively inexpensive for its style and build quality.

Comments:
Will Pentax ever run out of compact digital cameras? Cliff Smith seems to doubt it.

Review Verdict: As a budget compact, the Optio S55 has a lot going for it, but unfortunately it is let down by image noise problems and a very confusing list of modes and options. It is rugged and well made though, so you could do worse for your winter holidays. Note:

Comments:
In the compact Optio S55, Pentax has included a 1/2.5-inch 5.36 total megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 35.6 - 107mm in 35mm format. Available online for as low as $212 (USD), the Optio S55 offers point-and-shoot consumers an economic,
