The specs you quoted are printing specs, not photographic terms. but ask any camera store how large a print can you make from a good 6 MP CCD sensor. The Pentax lens is a beaut and well-corrected, and the physical size of the camera mean nothing. It's the sensor size and pixel count!

See: http://www.flickr.com/cameras/pentax/optio_s6/ And http://reviews.pricegrabber.com/digital/m/12660620/ ============= Think some aren't getting the point, ann. You've got a Canon and want to shoot for the PUG now and then. (I have the same issues. :-)) I have a s4i and it is just adequate. But a really handy size. I think keith's recommendation is good, in other words. You can get decent shots with a 6mp DSLR so a 6mp Optio is probably about as low mp as you should go. Several s6s selling on ebay right now for under $150. Note I do love the size of the Optio S4i (seems same size as the s6), it fits easily into a purse.
