Hi guys, you seem very knowledgable and informative I'm going backpacking later this year to SE Asia and N Zealand and am looking for a good digital camera to take. It doesn't have to be waterproof but I would like one that I can have a bit of fun with. At the moment I'm heading towards the Pentax Optio S5i and was just wondering if you guys think this is a poor brand or there are better options out there for me. Any help would be really appreciated.
