Pentax Optio Z10

Comments:
The Pentax Optio Z10 is penalized by too many defects (autofocus, noise control, lens quality, no stabilization) for us to recommend it. We prefer the Ricoh R7 which has a wide angle amongst other things.

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Pentax Optio Z10 Review

Comments:
The Pentax Optio Z10 is a compact, slim digital camera that fits into the palm of your hand, measuring 94(W) x 58 (H) x 25.5mm (D) and weighing 145g with the battery and SD memory card. This is a camera that you won't notice carrying in a trouser/shirt po

Review Verdict: The Pentax Optio Z10 is a fairly unremarkable point and shoot camera with the obvious attraction of a 7x zoom lens that covers every focal length from moderate wide-angle to sports-shooter telephoto. It's a really great addition to such a compact camera,

Comments:
The Pentax Optio Z10's lens is the strongest aspect of this camera. Where most compacts stop at 3x or 4x, the Z10 keeps zooming to 7x, allowing you to get much closer to distant subjects. With an equivalent of 38mm when zoomed-out, it might not exactly ge

Review Verdict: Viewed in isolation, the Z10 is a fair compact with a bigger than average zoom, and a non-extending lens which unusually can be used while filming a video. But the lack of optical or sensor-shift stabilisation is pretty unforgivable in this day and age -

Comments:
This is a camera that's aimed at the casual snapper

Review Verdict: The Pentax engineers have produced a minor miracle in packing a 7x zoom into a pocket-sized body and what makes it more impressive is that it's a non-protruding type and silent in operation. It's not the smoothest zoom as it moves through the impressive 3
