Pentax Optio S60

 

Pentax Optio S60 Review. This camera looks good and has an aluminium body. It is straightforward and easy to use with six megapixels and a three times zoom lens.

Simplicity and ease of use ; Style and design

Recycling times

"If you are looking for a stylish, easy to use digital camera the Pentax Optio S60 offers you the chance to buy at a very reasonable price. I found this to be a very adaptable camera. The only obvious flaw isits slow recycling time."

Pentax Optio S60

 

The Optio S60 packs a lot of high-powered functions for 4.8 ounce camera, but is easy to use, and includes on-screen help prompts that explains all the functions, and lets you leave the instruction manual behind.
