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
