Pentax Optio S1 Digital Still Camera - Chrome (14MP, 5 x Wide Angle Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD

The Pentax S1 Digital Still Camera packs some great features for a compact camera.

It offers an amazing 14 megapixels, a wide-angle, 5-x optical zoom, a mirror-like aluminium body, and an optical shake reduction system for anyone taking pictures on the go. The anti-shake system on the Optio S1 detects dim light conditions, or when telephoto mode is being used, and automatically raises the sensitivity to compensate for camera shake by up to three shutter stops.

The Optio S1 Digital Camera also features a superb HD video capability, recording at an impressive frame rate of 30 frames per second. Videos can be viewed on the large 2.7” LCD screen. It also has an independent record button so you can go straight from any shooting mode into video mode.

This camera takes all the guesswork out of portraiture with its facial recognition feature. The camera automatically fires the shutter when the subject smiles. How cool is that? There is also a blink detector and 22 additional scene modes. The super macro mode, great for those who are keen nature photographers, is second to none for a camera of this size.

As well as close-up work and portraits, the Optio S1 can take in a variety of subjects from distant landscapes to group shots in small spaces thanks to its wide-zoom range.

The Optio S1 may be small, but it has a surprising range of editing features, when compared to many other digital cameras it's also very easy to use the editor. It comes with nine digital filters so you can apply various visual effects to your images without having to use a computer. Some unique effects can be achieved on par with a much more complicated and expensive set-up.
