I brought this product from Comet before Christmas for £99. I wish I waited until now as it is only £79 on Amazon - what a steal!
Am I bitter - not one bit - I can't believe it is not butter!
This product has all the features I would expect on a more expensive digital camera and the 12MP images I have taken are crisp and clear. I am surprised to see some of the negative reviews that have been posted and ss a users of professional DSLR cameras I am happy to use this as everyday slim and stylish camera. In my opinion this represents fantastic value for money!

I bought this camera before Christmas and have been really pleased with the pictures that I have had from it. The kids mode is my favorite and gives great pics even when the little ones are running around. Despite being small it feels remarkably tough and i now keep it in my pocket all the time. All my friends asked what camera i've got and at least 2 have bougth them since. I almost wish that i'd waited as i paid more than this. But then I wouldn't have got the great Christmas pics for my memories. Good one Pentax.

I was looking for an idiot proof camera which just takes pictures for me when I press one button, and can make me look like I know what I'm doing - good pictures. I got it. It's half the price of my previous 5MP camera, but much less flimsy and really small & easy to pocket. Only problem, my kids keep nicking it to take "clever shots" using the menu options. Maybe I should buy another...

This tiny camera really packs a punch with fantastic image quality and many of the same features that my larger camera has. I can and do take it everywhere with me and the long life lithium ion battery means my S12 is always ready to go! Great value for money when I purchased at £99 from Comet. Buy this product with confidence.

I bought this camera before the Christmas period after my Canon broke. I have to say I'm not sad about the Canon now as this is by far the best camera I have ever bought.

The picture quality is really good and I have experienced none of the problems some other reviewers have mentioned, and now had it for a while.

The appearance was the main attraction for me intially and it is great for fitting in a handbag or pocket for a night out.

But it backs this up with great photos and lots of easy-to-use features. A great one for people who don't like trawling through the manual!

Some of my friends have used it too and think it's a really good little camera.

I would definitely recommend to all who want a great compact.
