About the Pentax Optio S12
The Pentax Optio S12 arrived in January 2008 as a compact built around a 1/1.7-type CCD with about 12 megapixels. Its lens covers 38-114 mm in 35 mm terms, a 3x optical zoom, with an aperture of F2.8.
The body measures 87 x 54 x 21 mm and weighs 140 g, with a 2.5-inch screen on the back. Images are saved to SD or SDHC cards. A 1/1.7-type sensor behind an F2.8 lens makes it a good fit for indoor and evening snapshots. The zoom is a modest 3x, so the camera is best used as a small, simple tool for everyday shooting at home, at meals, and on short walks around town.
Buying one used
This is a small body holding a 1/1.7-type sensor. Before buying, check how the lens extends, whether the 2.5-inch screen displays cleanly, and that SD or SDHC cards are read correctly.
