With an amazingly tiny size (it actually fits inside an Altoids mint tin), the Optio S4i is an exciting example of miniaturization in the digicam marketplace. Measuring a Lilliputian 3.3 x 2.0 x 0.81 inches (84 x 52 x 20.5 millimeters) and weighing just 4.2 ounces (120 grams) with the battery and SD memory card, the Optio S4i will fit into even the smallest shirt pocket. There's no question this camera is meant to go places, and the retractable lens keeps the camera front flat, making it quick on the draw. A built-in shutter-like lens cover conveniently opens whenever the camera is powered on, and the lens telescopes outward in a matter of seconds. The 4.0-megapixel CCD (4.23 total megapixels) produces high resolution, print quality images, as well as lower resolution images better suited for email. The camera offers a host of creative features and functions, as well as manual control over focus and white balance (if desired), proof that small size doesn't have to cramp your style. more
