Pentax Optio RS1000 review
The Optio RS1000’s unique body design allows you to insert one of the
included skins or any other design of choice, such as photographs, patterns
or illustrations, between the body and the transparent front panel, giving
you the ability to customize the camera’s appearance to match your mood,
what you’re wearing, where you’re going– the possibilities are
literally endless! It features a high-resolution 14 effective megapixel
sensor, large 3.0-inch LCD monitor, high-performance 4X optical zoom lens
and simple, user-friendly operation in a stylish and lightweight
credit-card-sized body that’s compact enough to carry anywhere for every
occasion.
The Optio RS1000 features a removable transparent acrylic front panel. You
can easily and totally change the camera’s appearance simply by setting a
design sheet between the camera body and this panel. Use the designs
included with the Optio RS1000 or create a one-of-the-kind original design
using your own photographs, posters, or hand-drawn illustrations or
patterns.
Thanks to it’s 14 megapixel sensor, the Optio RS1000 delivers brilliant,
high-quality images with well-defined details. Even when images are
enlarged, you are assured of brilliant, high-resolution prints with
edge-to-edge sharpness.
The large, easy-to-view 3.0-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000
dots allows you to check composition and camera settings with just a quick
glance.

27.5mm to 110mm (in the 35mm format) can easily handle a wide variety of
subjects and scenes.
