SLOW!!!!! [Posted on 2007-05-31]
I am generally happy with the camera and quality of the pictures, but the start up time and the shutter lag are some of the slowest I've seen. My family has 6 p/s cameras from all different manufacters and this Optio is the worst.
I just don't understand why the companies promote "face recognition system", "anti shake",and high megamixel when what we really want is a camera that will take a shot when you press the button!
An Altoid box of utility and fun [Posted on 2007-06-20]
This camera, which does fit in an Altoid box, has been a pocket companion of mine, ever since I bought it to replace my Pentax Optio S4. Yes, it is slow to the starting gate, but, in the bracketing or burst mode, there is some relief from this problem. That slowness cost it five stars from me. Intuitive controls, easy to learn. Great color. Prints are excellent. Low light and bright light handled about average. I'm a Canon fan for larger point and shoots, and have a digital Minolta SLR (yes, I know, they went out of business)--but this little charmer is what I carry day to day.
Great to carry everywhere [Posted on 2008-05-23]
This camera was recommended to me by a friend. I purchased based on price, the fact is so compact. And, the Pentax name. I will attest as do others, it DOES fit in an altoid can. And, for the most part, when I carry it in my pocket I have it in the altoid can. It is 100% protected from pocket knife, keys, etc. Others have reviewed that it is slow. But, I haven't seen that to be a too big of a problem. It's true..but not a terrible problem. If you want speed...spend $400 more and get what you want. I know this probably goes with all electronics, but my wife dropped my camera with the lens open and it messed it up pretty good. It wouldn't work any more. So, durability it doesn't have from a 4' drop to the ground. But, to let you know how much I like the camera...I ordered another that very day!
Aggravating [Posted on 2008-05-29]
The shutter lag on this camera is so bad that Pentax has disgraced its good name by putting this camera on the market. Just how bad is the shutter lag? If you ask a stranger who is unfamiliar with the camera to take a picture for you, nine times out of ten you end up with no picture at all. Why? The stanger pressed the button just like you said, but failed to hold the button down for the three seconds or so that the camera needs to take the picture. Yes, it is that bad -- and even worse when the camera needs to flash. I hate this camera.
