Best for
A heritage ultra-compact - the Pentax Optio S series was famously described as 'credit card-sized'. 3.2MP is modest today but the camera itself is a characterful small pocket digital from the dawn of ubiquitous digital photography.
Frequently asked questions
Is this still useful today?
Mostly as a collector/conversation piece. 3.2MP is too low for most modern uses - modern smartphones have significantly better cameras. Characterful heritage piece rather than a current working tool.
