Picture quality is good 7mp and 3x optical zoom works well. Zoom pops out of body when switched on (even when viewing photos - which may be a minor problem if handing camera around to show off your efforts).

I was a bit disappointed in the image stabilisation mode though, very grainy (noisy) pictures when I've used it so far.
VGA video, works well, framerate seems high i.e. smooth playback.

First thing is how small this camera is. Fits inside jeans pocket with barely a bulge. Even fits when it's in a case (case not included though). Picture quality is good 7mp and 3x optical zoom works well. Zoom pops out of body when switched on (even when viewing photos - which may be a minor problem if handing camera around to show off your efforts). The screen / viewfinder is large covering most of the back of the camera, clear and easy to use menus show up on it. Battery is similar to mobile phone ones, but has to be removed to recharge, so worst of both worlds - can't just plug the charger into the camera and can't just fill it up with AA batteries (however that's probably because they would be too big for this camera). I was a bit disappointed in the image stabilisation mode though, very grainy (noisy) pictures when I've used it so far. VGA video, works well, framerate seems high i.e. smooth playback. Overall this is a great camera at a budget price.
Advantages: small, good quality photos, big screen Disadvantages: long shutter lag
...always look them up on pentax site. Who can give better description that the manufacturer?!
So, It is a good camera for its price. I am not a specialist in cameras so it is quite easy to use for an average person, good pictures, very good videos for a photo camera. Big plus that it has a rechargeable battery, and not AA ones. Never buy one with AA batteries, they go flat after a couple of photos taken. For your convenience, you can buy an additional ... ...price and keep it charged, so that if the one in the camera goes flat there is always a replacement. It has a number of features, and modes in which you can take photos, like for photographing animals or food or sport events, but they don't seem particularly great and the difference from a normal mode and these special modes is not significant.
It is quite small with a decent screen and nice to touch. It doesn't feel plastic and toy-like like most ...

Advantages: High zoom, super macro and looks Disadvantages: Auto focusing can be a bit tempremental somethimes
When i opened the box for my Fuji S5800 camera about a month ago, I knew that I had made a good choice for my second camera. I still have my PentaxOptioS7 but I wanted a camera that would allow me much more creativity with my photos.
LOOK & FEEL
The whole look and feel of the camera is very pleasing to both the touch and the eye. The ruberized hand grip on the right hand-side is a perfect fit for the hand and the lens is just long enough to cup your hand around when taking a steady picture. The rest of the body is made from a high quality plastic which surrounds the lush 2.5 inch screen.
LCD SCREEN
The LCD screen is, well what can I say, brilliant maybe. I haven't really had much chance to test it in bright light but even if it was an issue, switching to the eyepiece couldn't be easier (the touch of a button ...
Advantages: Yes of course Disadvantages: Not that many

The 7 megapixel PENTAX Optio S7 is loaded with advanced features - all in a slim and stylish body. This model features an easy-to-use Blur Reduction High ISO mode to help reduce the effects of camera shake and subject blurring for sharp images even in dim lighting conditions such as night scenes and indoor sporting events. Also featured is Face Recognition AF & AE - a function that simplifies portrait taking. In addition, the Optio S7 is the first compact PENTAX digital camera to accept the new SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards in addition to SD memory cards.
