High-magnification portable DC cameras have become quite popular in recent years, with each manufacturer claiming that their model is the lightest in its class. However, if we were to truly compare them, the Optio RZ18, Pentax's latest release, is definitely one of the top contenders. Despite being only 36mm thick, the RZ18 boasts an 18x zoom lens. The camera not only emphasizes its telephoto capability at 450mm but also offers an ultra-wide angle equivalent to 25mm. For enthusiasts who prioritize portability yet hope to travel with just one device, this should be a pretty good choice.
