I have an Optio 430 which is about 2-3 years old now I guess. The jpg's it
produces seem indistiguishable from the jpg's that I have when I send a roll
of film from the slr to the supermarket processing and have them scan me a
disk. I'm notoriously uncritical but works for me.

Subject: Are Pentax compact digitals really that bad?
Hi folks,
I've been thinking about buying a small pocket digital camera for those
situations when a DSLR is too inconvenient. As old pentaxian (ME-sup, LX,
Pz-1p, *istD) I would of course rather go for a Pentax, but the reviews
(dpreview, imaging-resource, steves digocams, etc) mostly grade Pentax
Optios far behind the Canons, Sonys, Fujis Finepix' etc. espcecially when
it comes to image quality. Is it really that bad? Any experience from ...
let's say the new Optio S5z? It looks nice, is small enough for a shirt
pocket, but what about image quality? Thanks for any advice!
Peter, Sweden
