Perfect match of size and quality

( - 6/6/05)

I have been thrilled with my Pentax S4, despite some shortcomings. What are the negatives? Buttons are small and sometimes hard to press correctly. Metal surface shows scratches easily. That's about it on the negative side!
On the positive side, after two years and thousands of shots, it's still ticking and consistently taking good quality images. It's a great size - easily fits in a pocket. The different settings definitely work to counteract unusual lighting.
Bottom line: It's no DSLR, but it delivers consistent quality in a small size. I only can hope that Pentax's new offerings (it's now June 2005), like the Pentax Optio S4i, are similar in quality.
