I have Optio SV now - I had Optio 4i before - and I have a gnawing suspicion
that the earlier camera was better. There´s no way I can prove it but that´s
what I feel. Optio SV makes smaller files. The SV is not bad, either - and
the size gives better grip.
All the best!

Thanks to Keith, Christian, Bruce, and Amita for the comments.
I thought and looked hard for a new condition S4.
Meanwhile, I stumbled on a good price for an Optio SV and have bought it.
Willoughby's in NYC is offering it at $261 with a $50 rebate from Pentax.
I don't think that I can beat the price for a 5 megapixel Pentax.
Now we'll see if the daughter wants to go back to school with old or new
camera.

Definitely bigger than the diminutive S4, but will serve well, and I'm
sure, will be really appreciated.

So do we have any sage advice out there?
Some of the newer Optios look pretty cool. I've been lusting after the
Optio
WP for a couple of months now. It might not suit your needs because it's
a
little bigger than the S4, and it's missing a viewfinder. I think it's a
fun
little camera, the samples I've seen from it are great, and it's
waterproof,
if that helps your decision any. I think Buydig.com has it for about $260
these days.
Hope that helps,
Amita
