Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card
The Pentax Optio RZ 18 Digital Camera (Orange) is a point-and-shoot that keeps things simple while giving you today's most sought after features. What might those be? High def 720p video capture, face detection, image stabilization, and advanced 9-point autofocus are chief among them. More than just slim and convenient, however, the RZ 18 also packs in 16Mp, for high-quality, enlargement-friendly photos.
Helping to make those stellar images would be the camera's Pentax zoom lens with a 4.5-81mm 35mm equivalent focal length (25-450mm). The lens also features an 18x optical zoom, plus a 27x Intelligent Zoom, and Pentax's Shake Reduction image stabilization. The camera also has a built-in flash for capturing stills in low-light or night-time situations. Another useful aspect of the RZ 18 is the large 3.0" LCD screen. You can compose, review, and navigate without having to squint with this, fast-becoming, industry standard size display.
When it comes to getting the best shot for each individual situation the RZ 18 has modes like Auto Picture, which take the guesswork out of getting it right. Other features such as creative special effects filters add a unique and fun bent to your images. And using the optional remote control you can take your pictures even further by getting yourself in the shoot, photographing large groups, or tinkering with self-timer, continuous, or burst modes, with ease. No matter how or what you shoot, though, the Optio records your files to compatible SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards (sold separately).

Comments about Pentax Optio RZ 18 Digital Camera (Orange):
I'm planning a trip to Burma in November and thought I would buy this camera as a backup to my Canon. Well, honestly, I think I will use this as a main camera. Easy to use and the photos are crystal clear. I just love the ease of this camera. I purchased a 32g card for it and let's see if I do take 10,000 pictures. And the size is great; will fit in my fanny pack.
