What a disappointing turn of events :-(

I bought a new digital camera this weekend. The new Pentax Optio S4. Super cool and small camera and not cheap at all. Well, it takes some crappy ass pics. They are all blury around the edges. Boooooooooooooo

Looks like I've got some homework to do. I've only got 2 weeks left to find a camera for

I have the Pentax Optio S and it takes great pictures. I don't know much about the S4, but maybe you just got a bum camera? I dunno, good luck finding something.

Distortion along the bottom edges or soft corners, was the only negative I read about in the Optio S/S4 line. It's really noticable though. It looks like somebody sudged the bottom of the pics. Grrrrr

I'm going to play with it a little more and see what I can do to eliminate it but its unfortunately a probem inherent of the line.

The only real difference between the S & S4 is the S4 is a 4 megapixel camera. I initial test shots weren't impressive on over all quality either. Despite all the rave reviews I've read about these cameras, the few negative comments that I've read seem to overshadow the good.

And I miss having a 10X optical zoom :-( 3X just seems like a joke after years with a big zoom.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
