You can choose from the 10 included skins, create your own using the Personal Skin Designer software, use a tracing stencil, and also change the lens ring. Can this chameleon-like feature make the RS1500 stand out from the entry-level crowd? Read our in-depth Pentax Optio RS1500 review to find out...
Pentax RS1500 review, find out how the RS1500 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
Pentax RS1500 is a 14.0MP Small Sensor Compact camera with a 1/2.3-inch sized CCD sensor and 28-110 mm F3.5-5.5 lens. Read our RS1500 review to find its pros and cons.
The Pentax Optio RS1500's design won't suit everyone and the swappable skins are a gimmick, but it's fundamentally a very respectable budget camera. Its only real weakness is its poor build quality.
Not without problems, but serviceable photo and video quality, fun designs and a low price add up to an attractive deal.
