Really liked the quick start-up time for set up and using the camera. This camera is used for personal and school related classes/activities. Great construction and small size makes for just slipping into my pocket and taking it with any where I go.

Good value in a small camera!

Comments about Pentax Optio S12 Digital Camera - BLACK:

this camera takes excellent photos - if only every one was! It is really hit and miss if you are going to get a non-fuzzy picture. I've tried every setting including the default and the picture focus varies greatly. If you have the time to compose a subject you may get a great picture - but if you are in a hurry and want a quick snap - move to a different camera.
