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

“The Pentax Optio 555 ($550) is an updated version of the popular Optio 550 (see our review). Both cameras have a 5 Megapixel CCD, 5X optical zoom lens, and compact body. The differences between the new cameras are few. The 555 adds PictBridge support, improved performance, a larger range of shutter speeds, and a new flash exposure compensation option—otherwise they’re the same camera. Those who purchased the 550 a few months ago are probably not pleased by the rapid introduction of this new model.
