Advantages: small size, features, image quality

Disadvantages: small controls

Have had Optio S for two weeks, taking both indoor and outdoor pics with a variety of settings. Picture quality at best resolution is stunning. Has some problems autofocusing in low light, but it has a manual focus. The Minolta Dimage Xi did not. Loaded with features found on larger digital cameras - see technical specs. Only complaint is the tiny multi-function toggle button. Easy to get wrong function - takes some getting used to. Battery life is about 2 hours with LCD display constantly on. Need spare battery for travel - currently hard to find as of April 2, 2003. If you are looking for a tiny camera, but loaded with features, and excellent picture quality, even up to 8x10 or possibly larger, this is your camera.
