    5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe it's not butter, 8 Jan 2009
    This review is from: Pentax Optio S12 Digital Camera - Silver (12.0MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5" LCD (Electronics)
    I brought this product from Comet before Christmas for £99. I wish I waited until now as it is only £79 on Amazon - what a steal!
    Am I bitter - not one bit - I can't believe it is not butter!
    This product has all the features I would expect on a more expensive digital camera and the 12MP images I have taken are crisp and clear. I am surprised to see some of the negative reviews that have been posted and ss a users of professional DSLR cameras I am happy to use this as everyday slim and stylish camera. In my opinion this represents fantastic value for money!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas. What a cracker, 8 Jan 2009
    This review is from: Pentax Optio S12 Digital Camera - Silver (12.0MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5" LCD (Electronics)
    I bought this camera before Christmas and have been really pleased with the pictures that I have had from it. The kids mode is my favorite and gives great pics even when the little ones are running around. Despite being small it feels remarkably tough and i now keep it in my pocket all the time. All my friends asked what camera i've got and at least 2 have bougth them since. I almost wish that i'd waited as i paid more than this. But then I wouldn't have got the great Christmas pics for my memories. Good one Pentax.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Idiot Proof, 8 Jan 2009
    By 
    Dave (Oxfordshire) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Pentax Optio S12 Digital Camera - Silver (12.0MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5" LCD (Electronics)
    I was looking for an idiot proof camera which just takes pictures for me when I press one button, and can make me look like I know what I'm doing - good pictures. I got it. It's half the price of my previous 5MP camera, but much less flimsy and really small & easy to pocket. Only problem, my kids keep nicking it to take "clever shots" using the menu options. Maybe I should buy another...
