<p>The Pentax S12 is the latest in a line of slim metal-bodied cameras that stretches back to the Optio S, launched in January 2003.The S12 may boast a 12 megapixel sensor, but the 37-111mm zoom lacks a real wide angle, the design is dull and the user interface isn't a patch on the best cameras in this class. In good light it produces pleasant natural results and feels fairly speedy - though both output quality and focus speed go rapidly downhill in low light and at higher ISO settings. (April 2009)</p>

Opinion: thought the tsv demo of this camera on qvc uk looked impressive, so ordered the camera.
what a disappointment. badly exposed photo's-they looked washed out in bright conditions.
focus was all over the place. talk about blurry!
there were little pockets of random sharpness in the image and that was it.
i took a picture of a bush next door to where i live and compared it to one i took with a canon and also a fuji. looking at them at actual size the pentax showed all the leaves were smeared together, whilst the fuji and canon (i have various models of each) showed individual leaves.
a heap of junk if ever there was.
sent it back and got a refund thank god.
Problems: badly focussed/exposed images.
