Digicams: the Pentax Optio S40 (Patreon)

Here is the next digicam I found on Marketplace, the Pentax Optio S40:

This one is super small and just so cute. However, it‘s not very good hehe, it‘s real slow. Taking it on the street has been a bust, it’s just not able to be snappy for that decisive moment, but should be fine for landscape. 

This gallery is a mixed of photos around the house and street photos.

There is this function which creates live diptych images, sorta like a half frame camera, it‘s super fucking slow, but still very cool. It‘s fun to do something like this live and not in post. A camera like the RicohGR should have a similar function, I would def use it. 

I also used it during my shoot with Natasha:

As you can see there are lots of shakes since the camera is so slow.

Flash on for this one:

The macro mode is also very cool, you can close focus at about 2cm.

In conclusion, not the best camera, I would choose the cyber-shot I used before over this anytime because it‘s way more snappy and has a lot more manual features, like distance focus which is a must for me these days.

Next up, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T90 !
