Pentax Optio S30 Digital Camera [3MP 3x Optical]

The Optio S30 is the ideal all-round digital camera for anyone for whom versatility, seductive design, perfect ergonomics and simple operation are of equal importance. The Optio S30 with 3.2 megapixels offers the perfect resolution for stingingly sharp prints up to 13 x 18cm. The Optio S30 lies extremely well in the hand and is captivating with its slim, responsive aluminium housing. It utilises a highly efficient 3x zoom lens with 2 double-sided aspherical lens elements and features PENTAX's exclusive super-multi-coating. Brilliant photographic results with superb colour accuracy are without question - even in this tiny wonder. And it is all made possible through the unique design of PENTAX's space saving "Sliding Lens System".

A too-small camera body can be an annoyance if miniaturisation impairs operability. Not so with the Optio S30. Particularly remarkable on this ultra-compact model is a very generously dimensioned shutter release button and Mode Dial located on the top where the 9 different photographic mode options can be selected. It couldn't be any clearer. The concept continues in the menu guide. All features can be found and accessed quickly and simply. Among them are 8 Picture Mode programs including the new Text Mode for photographing documents and the Marine Mode, which provides for outstanding underwater photographs when the camera is used with the optionally available underwater housing. Large TFT LCD Display for an absolute view whether before, during or after recording: the sharp TFT LCD Display provides for a total view. After recording you get an immediate display for a fast evaluation. And if you need to see more detail then you can magnify the image up to 16 times. Or you can view 9 images at a time to quickly evaluate your combined work. You can even do a bit of work right on the screen and save the changes. Details that leave nothing to desire from the various functions that the camera makes automatically to the individual user's selection of sharpness, saturation, and contrast: the most diverse options are open. The 5-Point Autofocus is switchable to Spot Focus providing for best-possible focus accuracy in difficult situations. Ten digital filters, a macro mode for detailed photographs as near as 6cm away, the individualising of different functions as set by the user, the optionally available remote control as well as a protection function that guards against the inadvertent deletion of specified images round out the features - leaving you nothing more to desire in a digital camera.
