The Pentax Optio S5i comes on the heels of what has been one of my favorite lines of digital cameras for underwater photography. The S5i is the third Optio Iâve had in a row, and thatâs saying a lot since I am a fair weather fan when it comes to digital technology. At an impressive 5 megapixels, the camera is still small enough to fit in a tin of altoids, is very light and all of its controls are amazingly intuitive and easy to use. Its only weakness is in low light situations when shooting a subject at distance, its internal flash has its limits. However, this minor shortcoming is more than made up for by the fact that the Pentax Optio S5i is superb at imaging small subjects using its macro setting at 6mm.
