Advantages: Small, Lightweight, photo and film mode with sound.

Disadvantages: Fragile battery and SD card door mechanism.

The Optio S4 altho a little old now beats some of its rival digital cameras on weight and size. If you don`t like to be spotted as a tourist in foreign countries this camera suits because it is so small, about the size of a 20 cigarette pack and carries in pockets without noticing. Picture quality is excellent and you can fit SD cards from 256mb up to 1 and 2 meg SD cards. The camera also has a film shooting mode allowing 1 minute films with sound. Build quality is good, but there is a very flimsy battery and SD card door that ruins build quality and is prone to either break or come undone. This I believe was corrected on later models. If you can live with the dodgy battery door (only this made me not recommend it) then this camera is cute and a trick little camera loaded with features worth checking out. Possibly worth considering later models.

Summary: Small, lightweight, photo and film mode.
