I have a Canon G3 which I love, but its bulky I am interested in the Pentax Optio S6 as an upgrade. Is this a wise move ?? Help please.:?

Dave -

It is only my personal opinion, but having owned a Canon G-3 myself, I believe that you would find the Pentax S6 to be a let down. Here is a link to a CNET review of the Pentax camera:

I understand your desire for an an ultrasmall camera. However, a much better choice would be the Casio Z-120 or the Casio Z-750. Both have small optical viewfinders, which the Pentax does not, and both have received excellent reviews and user comments. I recently purchased the Casio Z-120 myself, and have been very impressed with its performance.
