Default Just got my Pentax Optio S4 today!

All I gotta say is damn, this thing is small! I haven't done anything with
it except charge the battery tonight, I will dig into it tomorrow. One
thing that should have been corrected with this camera is the battery/card
slot door, it is VERY flimsy and barely snaps into place when closed. But I
guess they did this for weight reasons. It is a nice piece of electronics
though, I must say that much. I also discovered that the wrist strap is
also a neck strap, that was pretty cool for Pentax to do, because I was
going to buy a neck strap for the camera when going to places like amusement
parks, beach, etc but now I don't have two, it's a two in one strap.

Return it. I had that camera for a short while and replaced it with the
Casio Exilim ZX-40. It uses the same lens but for some reason it is much
easier to hold it steady while taking shots. The Pentax is not that much
smaller (hardly noticalbe in my eyes) but the pictures will be sharper
with the Exilim. Also the Pentax did not close the lens cover after one
week. Not a very solid Design.
