Pentax Optio S12 Reviews

PCMag reviews the Pentax Optio S12 and writes;
“I was impressed with still-image quality from the S12 and found it to be on a par with what you get from other well-rounded compact cameras.. Most nonprofessional photographers will find the S12’s still-image and video quality quite pleasing. ”
Rating: ★★★½☆

CNET.uk reviews the Pentax Optio S12 and writes;
“Another impressive style camera from Pentax, the S12 continues its tradition of combining sublime ease of use with decent — if not staggeringly good — image quality. For a real bargain, hunt out the S12’s predecessor, the 10-megapixel Pentax Optio S10, for around £50 less.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

TrustedReviews reviews the Pentax Optio S12 and writes;
“The level of fine detail is very impressive, as good as any of the more expensive 12MP compacts…image noise at higher ISO settings is more or less the same as the S10, with noise visible at 200 ISO and significant loss of detail at 400 ”
Rating: ★★★★☆

RegHardware reviews the Pentax Optio S12 and writes;
“the Optio S12 delivers pretty good pictures, but we have to confess that we really didn’t see any improvement over the S10, even when images were printed out.”
Rating: ★★★½☆
