Hi,
My daughter wants a high Megapixel slim pocket camera. Must have minimal shutter lag and glass lens, rather than a plastic one. Do any of the Pentax Optio's fit the bill? She'll be snapping rather than doing creative photography.

Thanks.

The S7i could fit the bill very nicely.
Best regards, John

John,

I've read up on this camera and it has certainly earned itself a place on the short-list.

Thanks.

Do you mean S7? I can't find any info on a S7i.

Probably I do!

Sue used to use the S5i and even at 5MP she made some very nice A3 prints that were successful competition entries. The range of S cameras is a good one, very compact and capable of excellent results.

Not in my hands though, as I found it too small and impossible to hold still enough to avaoid camera shake. Sue did not have a problem with it.
Best regards, John
