The main features that differentiate the Pentax Optio S5n from its nearest neighbours are a 2in 110,000 pixel LCD monitor, an AF low-light illuminator, and the lack of an optical viewfinder. Apart from these it is physically almost identical to the S5i, S4i, S4 and S. It has a strong aluminium alloy body with a distinctive milled pattern of concentric circles on the front panel, giving it an easy to grip feel. This is similar to the finish of the four cameras listed above, but the pattern is finer, which unfortunately means it is also more prone to marks and scratches.

Pentax Optio S5n Review
A Stylish Digital Camera Combining a 2.0-inch LCD monitor, Ultra-compact Dimensions, High Performance and Exceptional Ease of Use
A stylish and compact digital camera with ultra-compact, lightweight appeal. What’s more, it also offers the power of 5.0 effective megapixels and a 3X optical zoom lens incorporating PENTAX’s unique Sliding Lens System. Developed in line with the OptioS series concept of being “stylish and ultra-compact to enable it to be worn like an accessoryâ€?, there’s so much more to the Pentax Optio S5n than its stylish, elegant appearance. Indeed with an easy-to-see 2.0-inch large LCD monitor, a useful Mode Palette function that simplifies shooting and playback and the advantage of MPEG-4 file format for high-quality, extended duration movies, the OptioS5n is every bit as versatile as it is attractive.
