 ... expected it do be, images are sharp and clear whilst staying vibrant with colour and depth. It is only when you start working out what all the different settings do does this camera come alive and show what it is really capable of. I have started using this camera for macro photography, using the manual focus option you are able to get an image in focus just centimetres from the lens and the detail at that range is striking, this method of photogrophy can really bring everyday objects alive. The camera is able to fo...more

A recieved this camera as a birthday preasent earlia this year, and have been happy with it ever since. As my first proper digital camera I didnt have much knowledge of things such as ISO and fn settings and macro shooting. The manual provided is very detailed and a definate must read for this camera, I say this because this camera is absolutely packed full of features and settings. Out of the box picture quality was already brilliant, better than I expected it do be, images are sharp and clear whilst staying vibrant with colour and depth. It is only when you start working out what all the different settings do does this camera come alive ...  Read the complete review

Always a sucker for a bargain, I recently saw this 12 megapixel camera on offer at half price on Amazon and couldn't resist. It's an easy to use, pocket-sized 'point and shoot' camera that has some great features and it comes with a detailed manual which is over 200 pages long. Although really compact its aluminium casing makes it feel quite solid and well built. I've taken pictures indoors and outside, and all have come out really well. Pictures of my dog are amazing when loaded onto my PC, I could see the individual hairs on his coat! The 2.5 LCD display has anti-reflection coating which makes viewing photos easier in bright ...  Read the complete review

The pentax optio s12 is a great little camera and is now reaosably price, I thought I was picking up a bargain before christmas for £100 as it was originally £200 however now its saying amazon are selling it for £70...I suggest your dooyoo miles may do well to put towards this. The fact that is 12mp is what attracted me to the camera, as I am soon to be doing a considerable amount of travelling and wanted to take some very high quality images to remember. After trying it out at home I realised how much digital photography has come on over the years, as I had previously owned a HP 6mp camera which just seems shoddy now. When put onto the computer the pentax ...  Read the complete review
