There's an MC Escher drawing of a small house with a staircase on the roof that on closer inspection never ends. You get a similar feeling of endless depth when looking at the functions of Pentax's Optio S4 digital camera.
Despite being comparable in size to a pack of cards, it crams in a 3x optical zoom, a massive 1.6in TFT screen, and it takes four-megapixel images.
The S4 might be deeper than Casio's Elilim EX S2 (i reviewed earlier), but the images are better as the Pentax's lens is superior. However, it's multiple shooting modules and options that make the S4 a really great camera.
There are over 20 different profiles for creatively shooting a range of images, from black and white to long exposure shots. You can also tweak a range of settings, such as white balance.
Despite the large 1.6in TFT screen, the Optio S4's battery life is excellent, so you dont need to worry about taking your time to frame images when taking pictures.
There's more than enough juice to fill a 128MB Smart Digital card with around 100 images without any power warnings.
The Optio S4's only drawbacks are its slow speed at writing images to the SD card and the expensive price tag.
