Camera Overview — Pentax Optio S60

The Pentax Optio S60 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 6MP sensor in a 1/2.5 inch format, capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2816x2112 pixels. Housed in a metal body measuring 89 x 59 x 28 mm and weighing just 135g, this camera is genuinely pocketable without sacrificing build quality. The ISO range runs from 50 to 400, giving shooters some flexibility in varying light conditions while keeping noise in check at the lower end.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system, which is well-suited to a camera of this class. The 2.5 inch LCD display with a resolution of 115,000 pixels serves as the primary framing tool, as no viewfinder type is listed in the specifications. A built-in flash is included for low-light situations.

Video capture tops out at 640x480 resolution. Storage is handled via SD cards, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. Power comes from 2x AA batteries, which makes sourcing replacements straightforward virtually anywhere.
