I keep an Optio 450 in my Leica bag, and am VERY happy with its 
performance.

While it's not exactly the same as the S4, it may be some indication of 
what you might expect. It handles well, is very compact, has great 
battery life, and focuses way close. Seems plenty sturdy.

If you've got specific questions, I'd be glad to help.
