Camera Overview — Pentax LS1100

The Pentax Optio LS1100 is a slim point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. Designed with portability as a priority, its aluminum and plastic body measures just 92 x 56 x 14 mm and weighs 114g, making it genuinely pocketable for everyday carry. The camera's 3.0-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review tool, with no optical viewfinder in the mix.

For focusing, the LS1100 relies on a contrast detection autofocus system supplemented by Face Detection AF, which helps with portraits and group shots. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 6400, providing a reasonable range for adapting to different lighting conditions. Digital image stabilization is on board to help reduce motion blur during handheld shooting.

Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. The built-in flash adds versatility for low-light situations. Video recording is supported at 30fps.

Battery life is rated at approximately 210 shots per charge using the Li-Ion D-LI108 battery. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity is present on this model.
