Maybe I should be looking for something used. Suggestions?
I've had a Pentax Optio S4 for a long time. Carry it in a padded belt zip-case. Unobtrusive, and 4.0 megapixels. Very good camera indeed! Might find one of those, or it's sister, the Optio S5. Just because a camera is no longer made doesn't make it incapable of working anymore! That might be just what you need! keith whaley > -Charles -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
