Indoor image quality of the petax s5i

[vjadav]

i read some where that the indoor pics producded from the pentax s5i are not all that great (blurry, it doesnt focus well, etc). Can any one who owns this camera comment on this issue. Also how does it perform in low light condistion? Also if possible, can you post some pics taken with the s5i?

Just got the s5i yesterday. So far so good. I don't have much photo experience so not sure if I can help out much but after having oly c-50 have to say these pics are as good if not better, esp better indoor performance

All I've taken are auto shots haven't played around much.
I was impressed at how few blurry shots I got indoors compared to c-50. Thought it focused pretty quickly. Images seem pretty clear/sharp. Can't decide yet if some colors are a bit muted or if I just don't like reality.

Loved the sport mode. Took a pic out of my car window going around a turn at 20mph and no blur.

It can take awhile (1-5) secs to save the file

I may return it for a p-150 but not b/c of image more about size. It's almost too small.

Also, power button annoying placement and rubber i/o covers, usb cable and manual, seem second rate.

Sorry don't know how or if I can post images to forum

Ultracompact cameras can't have a very big flash, so don't expect it to do exceptionally well in low or no light. The Pentax S5i should give you decent pictures, indoors or out; to reduce blurriness from camera shake, you can try increasing the shutter speed and ISO speed.

Note that though the S5i has minimal shutter lag, its shot-to-shot time can be very long, especially with the flash. Its burst mode is measured in seconds/frame rather than frames/second; only at VGA resolution can it snap a still mediocre 1 frame/sec.
