Cameras.co.uk - 1/31/2007 - has a video guide of the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio S7 and they write - “One area where the camera has more features than many other models is for editing photos already taken. The editing tools include being able to add colour effects to a photo, removing red eye, adjusting brightness levels and adding a short voice memo to the photo. Voice memos can be useful for adding a short burst of commentary to help you to recall where and when the photo was taken and what was happening at the time.”

Steve’s Digicams - 1/8/2007 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio S7 and they write - “The Pentax Optio S7 offers some great features, an easily carried pocket size, an all-metal durable case, all in a 7-megapixel file format. The 23 MB internal memory will only be good for around 10 pictures with the average file size of 2.2MB, so we strongly recommend that you purchase a memory card of at least 256MB. With a street price of US$300 or less (check our buy box below) the S7 gives you a lot of camera for your money.”

Cameras.co.uk - 11/1/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio S7 and they write - “The Pentax Optio S7 is one of the cheapest pocket sized, seven megapixel digital cameras you will find. I did experience a degree of inconsistency with picture quality and shutter lag was a major problem too.”

Megapixel - 10/31/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio S7 and they write -

Pros:

  • Good image quality with brightly lit subjects.
  • Sharp and large LCD screen.
  • Well-finished body.
  • Green button, when assigned to functions, is a good improvement to the design.

Cons:

  • Some noise at all ISO settings.
  • Compression too strong at the highest image quality setting.
  • Blur Reduction mode not comparable to an optically stabilized lens.
  • Flash a bit underpowered.

DigitalCameraInfo - 10/5/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio S7 and they write - “The Optio S7 packs a good range of features into a small case. It takes smart-looking pictures, and is easy to use. It is obviously designed for point-and-shoot users; more advanced users will miss the manual shooting modes. But it does an effective job for what you need it to do; it take pictures quickly and efficiently if you don’t mind spending over $350 on a new camera.”

Pentax Optio S7 Initial Press Release

GOLDEN, CO. (July 24, 2006) PENTAX Imaging Company has announced the PENTAX Optio S7 compact digital camera. The Optio S7 is the latest model in the PENTAX Optio S series, which is known for slim, stylish, full-featured digital camera bodies.

In addition to an upgrade to 7.0 effective megapixels, this model features an easy-to-use Blur Reduction High ISO mode to help reduce the effects of camera shake and subject blurring for sharper images even in dim lighting conditions such as night scenes and indoor sporting events. In this mode, the camera adjusts shutter speeds automatically to an ISO as high as 1600 to match the brightness of the subject. The higher sensitivities permit faster shutter speeds.
