Cool little camera

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: This camera is a great deal if you are looking for portability and good pictures.
Review: A nice little camera. Small enough to take anywhere. It is true...it fits inside an Altoids tin (although I would recommend something a little softer to carry it in). Picture quality is great; that 4 megapixel CCD really makes a difference. Turn on...

Outstanding

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: There is plenty of excellent competition in the ultra-small category, but for size and features, build quality and image quality, this one is tough to beat
Review: I spent a long time researching digital cameras, I wanted one of the new breed of ultra-small ones and was willing to give up a little on image quality over features. Several appealed to me, including the Sony DSC-T1, Casio EX-Z40, Minolta DiMAGE Xg...

Revised Review

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: Good for quick moments using a flash.
Review: Updated July 6, 2004
Went to a wedding and a good friend had an Optio too. We took pictures all day. I took about 15 min of video and she took about 100 shots (hi resolution), both our batteries died. If you consider this camera buy extra...

Small Wonder

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy this little bantam. You won't regret it!
Review: My Pentax Optio S4i was purchased as a corporate "travel" camera. Associates at my company asked me to purchase an ultra compact camera for their upcoming trip to Australia. They were leaving the following day so my decision was rushed to say the...

I wish I didn't have to take this little camera back

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this now. Wait until Pentax makes sturdier parts and fixes the problems.
Review: After a week of owning this camera, I returned it. During that week, I had over 5 calls to tech support, including speaking with a senior tech twice. When they told me that I'd have to send it in for repair, I returned it, as I'd only owned it for a...

Pentax Optio S4i

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: You can literally carry it around everywhere; you won't miss a photo opportunity. Everyone loves it!
Review: I purchased this camera after almost two months of researching other ultra-small/4+ megapixel cameras. During this researching period, I noticed how my own opinion changed dramatically when I actually held the camera and tried it out at a store...

Bad quality

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2006
Review: We bought the pentax Option S4 2004, and recently it is broken. I had used other brand digital camera, which are much reliable than this one. Since it broke so easy, the best thing a consumer can do is not to buy it.

Date of Review:  May 1, 2004
Review: I saw someone with one of these cameras and I had to have one. I immediately ordered one from WalMart.com and got it 2 days later. I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere and not paid tax, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Careful it breaks a lot.

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2004
Review: I found the photos to be grainy and usually unfocused.

I found no problems at all with the software or the use of the camera (they are all very simple to use).

I LOVE how small it is and how I can take it just about anywhere!...

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2004
