Finecam S5 is the world's smallest, lightest digital camera with an effective resolution of 5 million pixels and an optical 3x zoom lens. Thanks to a CCD of 5.25 million pixels for...
more...the shooting element (1/1.8 square pixels, using a primary color filter), highly precise, beautiful color reproduction has been achieved. In addition, among other cameras with an effective resolution of 5 million pixels and an optical 3x zoom lens, this product is the world's smallest and lightest. The dimensions in millimeters are: 92 (width) x 57.5 (height) x 33 (depth), and the weight excluding batteries is approximately 165 grams. Equipped with a high-resolution optical 3x zoom lens to achieve more than 200 lines/mm at the center of the projection resolution, with a focal distance ranging from 7.3 mm in the Wide-angle mode to 21.9 mm in the Telephoto mode 3, the camera enables you to shoot high-quality pictures of landscapes, ceremonies and portraits, which resembles silver-salt films in image quality. The use of four non-spherical lenses enhances the cameras' performance and enables it to be more compact. Using the optical 3x zoom in conjunction with the digital 4x zoom enables you to shoot pictures with a magnification of 12x. Digital 2x zoom is possible during playback.

Full review
The Kyocera finecam s5 is an awesmoe camera, but the one thing i have to ask is: "why make such an awesome camera with such an annoying fault?"

I have recently purchased my second S5 (first was stolen), and I have founf the problem with the first consistent with the second - The battery is tempramental, and does not last longer than approx 1.5 hours.

Other than this this camera is awesome. The features are good, and as well as taking pistures you can take very small video clips. The memory cards are simple and effective and the picture quality is awesome.

The camera itself is small and lightweight and managed to survive a few occasions of me dropping on concrete.

I recommend this camera to anyone as a great camera to buy, and hope you do not have the same problems with the battery that i had.

Just to add a few points - I purchased my camera in Australia, but i have looked into buying one in the UK, and they are easily available to purchase at most camera specialist stores.

If you are looking to purchase online there are also many companies selling them at a decent price (250 - 300 pounds), and for a camera of this quality that is great.
