Digital Cameras - Pentax Optio 450 Camera Review, Information, Specifications

I found the Optio 450 to be a bit of a mixed bag. It has some strong points (nice case design, and high-quality 5x zoom lens, excellent macro capability), and does a lot of things very well (very good color, lower than average image noise, excellent...

Size, Picture Quality, Zoom capability, and pretty much everything else about the camera

Pentax Optio 450 A very good value

The Pentax Optio 450 is a great digital camera. It is small enough to take along hiking, biking, skiing or whatever. It fits nicely into a coat pocket. It feels rigid and durable in hand and takes very good quality pictures. This camera is my ...

5X Optical Zoom, records to SD card, lots of functions make it fun to use

Shutter lag, slow turn on time
