Pentax Optio 550
The Pentax Optio 550 is a powerhouse that delivers almost every digital camera feature, mode, and parameter imaginable. Despite its complexity, this cleverly designed, all-metal 5-megapixel compact is easy to operate and should appeal to both savvy shooters and neophytes. It earns an Editors' Choice nod for photo enthusiasts.
The brushed-metal front, along with the optical and auto-focus viewfinders, gives the Optio 550 the look of a high-quality 35-mm rangefinder film camera. Its buttons, controls, and dials are well marked, and most are easy to reach, even one-handed. The LCD is bright and highly readable but sometimes appears cluttered and confusing because of all the status numbers and icons. Though extensive, the menus are logically organized. Our only criticisms of the otherwise excellent construction concern the plastic compartment doors and the plastic tripod screw socket
