"Good features but very poor image quality."
Pros: Compact size; many features
Cons: Photos not very clear. Although this is a 5 megapixel camera, my old camera, the 2.1 megapixel Canon Elph, produces better quality pictures.

I disagree with the above rater about the image quality of the Pentax S5i. I have owned a Pentax Optio S and now this one for over a year now and am very pleased with the image quality. The little sliding lens is just a tad soft at wider apertures in the corners, but in the typical daytime situation (with smaller apertures) I am very very pleased with the pictures. I am an amateur photographer so image quality means something to me. It has a great fill flash capability and its color reproduction is great. The compactness of the camera insures that I will carry it where ever I go.
