Pentax Optio S Details

Editors' Comments

The Pentax Optio S has an unusual claim to fame: It is the first 3-megapixel camera small enough to fit into an Altoids tin. Despite its diminutive site, the Optio S offers 3.2-megapixel resolution and a 3x optical zoom, as well as a few manual controls for more demanding photographers. If you're looking for a truly pocketable camera, look no further.
