CNET have completed their review of the Pentax Optio 555, a 5 megapixel updated version of the popular 550 model.

“Faster zooming and PictBridge compatibility are among the minor improvements that make the Optio 555 a bit better than its predecessor, the Optio 550. The 555 also shed a few ounces, so it’s attractive to amateur photographers who want features such as TIFF-file output, a 5X zoom lens, and manual controls in a relatively compact package. The Optio design doesn’t wow us now as it did when the 550 initially shipped, and much of the camera’s feature set has become more commonplace, but the 555 remains a solid 5-megapixel amateur model.”
