My fourth Pentax
I did not go to seek another Pentax. I bought a new portable computer, which came with Windows Vista. The result was that I could not download more photographs of my old man Pentax Optio. Thus I did my work, seeking much the optical buzz, a good number of Pixel, large screen of liquid crystal display, small package (I liked how the Pentax old man adapted in a box of Altoids), small price. This one was in first position, thus I bought it seen invisible. It is a marvellous camera, has the astonishing capabilites buzz, A anti-shake large projectiles of software and time exposures/night of catches. The battery lasts a long time and the camera feels large in the hand. My only felt sorry for is that the blue ones are also, well, blue! I like the camera and always carries it with me.


Pentax Optio Z10
The only problem that I see with this camera is that in luminous conditions outside you cannot see that the screen or to describe to you takes. The majority of the cameras eliminated the small sight; the weather sure would be nice to have one. Other how this, this camera is exceptional!


Excellent
The shipping was extremely quick. The product is everything I expected. A great gift.


Compact Quality
I like really the compact design for his mobility. Moreover built in the optical buzz 7X produces close-ups high quality as well as the clear projectiles of distance.


A truly extraordinary little camera
I am about to travel around the world and want an alternative to my Pentax K10D, particularly when wishing to be unobtrusive in third-world countries. First, I spent some time with the Panasonic LX2 -- same camera as the Leica at less than half the price -- which has some unique features and seems to be a terrific camera. BUT it won't go into a shirt pocket because the marvelous Leica lens protrudes. At a hefty (!) 7.8 oz, it weighs 56% more than the Optio Z10's 5 oz. The Optio is so small that there is nothing to hold onto. The Panasonic is better in that respect, but significantly bulkier.

I had just about decided to send both cameras back when I realized that I hadn't even looked at the few pix I had taken with the Optio. So I duly transferred them to my Mac and was absolutely astonished by the results. For reasons I don't understand, the Optio seems to handle subtle shades in the sky and clouds better than the K10.

The bottom line: The Optio produces razor-sharp pictures, even when using the 7x zoom hand-held at a slow shutter speed. Given some of the negative comments in these pages, I really didn't expect that. The design of the camera is superb. I only wish there were some semblance of a grip to hold onto.


Grainy indoor pictures
I bought this camera from a saleswoman who really sounded like she knew what she was talking about. She said that it was simply the best point and shoot camera on the market. I bought the storyline and made the purchase without going to other stores, professionals, or reading online reviews.

I thought the functionality of the camera was wonderful. However, when I printed out the pictures all of the indoor ones looked extremely grainy. The outdoor pictures were bright and clear but nothing from indoors. It was also difficult to get a picture that wasn't blurry.

I took the camera back and bought a Sony W90. I took similar photos (with similar objects, light etc.) and printed the pictures. Sony was clearly the better camera.

I would not recommend this camera. The functionality is great but the quality of the pictures is poor.




Great travel camera!
I had a certain number of point positive and car of the digitals and appreciated them, but hated the latency time. This camera all except eliminates that! I took even projectiles of sports of my grandkids and obtained "on the movement!" I like the programme of reduction of jolt because I drew in much low light periods and necessary him. Moreover, the time of night and the devices of close-up functioned well better than my Pentax old man, though it was a large camera. My only felt sorry for is that in the high light which it is impossible to see the image on the screen, and I discovered immediately that I could not take the vertical photographs with my sunglasses above because they are polarized. Otherwise, it is a large small camera! !


Great Camera
I had sought a camera with more buzz, I hoped for at least 10, but all the cameras which I looked at were so large. I came on Pentax and decided to give him a test. Could not be happier, this camera is so easy and to make cover the lense is great.Can carry my purse or pocket inside. the buzz 7x is abundance for me with this stage of my imagery. Do not hesitate over buying it!!!!! of camera


If you like picture noise, buy the Pentax Optio Z10
This camera has speed settings from ISO 64 to 3200. Of these, only 64 and 100 are acceptable. In bright scenes you will get a picture with good detail and color and a small amount of noise. Even at these low settings, a slightly magnified image will show noise as a speckling in the image. I made a mistake buying this camera - somehow misunderstanding its characteristics before I bought it. If you do not believe me, then read the professional reviews, such as at http://www.digitalcameratracker.com/pentax-optio-z10/

The good - It's compact, has a 7x optical zoom, has a nice screen, easy to use controls, and takes adequate movies.

The bad - It takes low quality noisy pictures, it has no image stabilization. Pentax claims it has image stabilization, but what they really do is increase the ISO level, reduce the exposure time, and greatly increase the noise level. You will get this effect whenever you take zoom pictures, except in the brightest of sunlight.

My recommendation: Do not buy this camera! If you want a small high zoom camera that takes good movies, but has better noise characteristics, look at the very similar looking Casio with real image stabilization. Pentax certainly could do better.


A MASTERPIECE
This really is a remarkable camera. The moving-mirror zoom is one of those ideas which makes you wonder why nobody did not think of it and implement it sooner and works well. Picture quality is impressive and the quality of the colour is fantastic. And all at a very reasonable price.


Pentax Optio Z-10
It is a large camera. You can use the car but I prefer to employ the green mode where you can place arrangements as in my camera of SRT 101 35MM. I took a projectile external of a veined flower, approximately 8 inches of distance. It came out extremely of detailed, and made confidence that I I am pickey. I then employed the mode of point where you can create a ' DIGITAL wide-angle lens ' it also worked large. The device of the objective which uses a mirror of refraction to go from wide-angle closing itself is very large that you never obtain the exceeding objective of the camera. The devices in this camera are abundant and you can employ them to obtain the really fantastic images. Read upwards on this camera and compare for yourself, will like it to you.


Excellent camera!!!
I bought this camera because of him is enormous optical buzz, MP 8, new optical system of mirror and because it is Pentax. And this camera is absolutely large! The images are very juicy colors and open space! Nothing moves when you bourdonnez - only mirrors inside the camera! It is true that marks of camera easily, but he can be easily cleaned! It is very easy lira the menu, with ends helping about each mode of the shooting - large more for me since I do not like to read the handbook. In some manner that there was a thing which frightened me and I read the handbook - if you tighten the Correct-button of several times - histogram will appear and if you want to draw something which has the spots which are very dark and very light - they will appear as yellow and red spots on the posting of liquid crystal display! In the beginning which encouraged me to think the liquid crystal display or the camera oneself is damaged. But - it is really the manner one it cense which to function! ! ! And now I think that it is very useful tool! O! BTW, to light the camera - you should move the piece out of plastic which covers objectives on the front one - crafty one to include/understand but easy to make! Thus I am completely satisfied with this purchase. This is why I give this camera 5 holds the first role. A large camera in the model! ! !
