Product Description
Amazon.com
Early Adopters Pick: March 2003. The worlds smallest 3.2-megapixel, 3x optical zoom camera.
The Pentax OptioS is so small it can fit into an empty mints tin. Smaller than the size of an average credit or business card and just over .75 inches thick, the OptioS boasts a high-quality 3.2-megapixel resolution and a 3x optical zoom lens in a sleekly designed, tough aluminum-alloy body. A new "sliding lens" system allows this lens to move up, away, and lie fully flush with the camera frame to protect the lens and allow for the cameras tiny dimensions.
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, the OptioS delivers images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The zooming capacity of the lenses is augmented with 2x digital zooming, which offers smooth operation and realizes a combined zooming power of 6x zoom. It features a focal range of 5.8-17.4mm (35-105mm equivalent in 35mm photography) and maximum aperture of f2.6-f4.8.
Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored in the internal 11 MB memory or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCards (MMC). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the OptioS can also record movie clips of up to 30 seconds with audio at 12 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.
More Features
The OptioS has been specially designed with audio recording capability rivaling the abilities of standalone audio recording devices. This can be exceptionally handy for recording important information in meetings. An index can be added during recording for easy playback.

As far as picture quality goes, I will not claim to be an expert. What I do know is that my images come up very clean even on my screen saver (19" monitor), and every print that I have made has been clear as can be (4x6, and 5x7). The zoom gets done what needs to get done (3x optical is plenty for this camera). I do come across a decent amount of red eye in my pictures, but with 2 seconds on the very easy to use editing software (included), everybody has their baby blues shinning again!
Like I said before, I would highly recommend this camera to any one. Make sure to grab an SD card (at least 64MB - std for any camera like this you're going to buy). This thing is put together very well. It has been with me through everything from hunting and fishing trips, to many of nights out on the town, and still looks and performs as well as ever. Keep it on the highest resolution setting because, why not? It stores pics well over twice as fast as my friends Minolta. Pick one of these up, and start taking the pictures of all of those times you wished you had your camera with you. I just wish I had one of these in my college days! Enjoy.

They don't tell you this in the manual. I learned by emailing Pentax about mine
giving me an memory card error when I tried to use it. So i order a 2GB card and now mine works fine!
