PENTAX introduces the new OptioS5n a stylish and compact digital camera with ultra-compact, lightweight appeal. What's more, it also offers the power of 5.0 effective megapixels and a 3X optical zoom lens incorporating PENTAX's unique Sliding Lens System. Developed in line with the OptioS series concept of being "stylish and ultra-compact to enable it to be worn like an accessory", there's so much more to the OptioS5n than its stylish, elegant appearance. Indeed with an easy-to-see 2.0-inch large LCD monitor, a useful Mode Palette function that simplifies shooting and playback and the advantage of MPEG-4 file format for high-quality, extended duration movies, the OptioS5n is every bit as versatile as it is attractive.
