Title: Pentax Optio A10 Digital Camera - Review
Pros: Sleek and solid form factor is great for travel, Discreetly integrated connector covers, Large 2.5-inch LCD with plenty of resolution (232,000 pixels), Produced accurate skin tones, Shake Reduction System helped reduce blur in standard shooting conditions
Cons: Soft images at 8x10 size regardless of ISO; camera really only useful for 5x7 prints or smaller., Images noisy above ISO 200; ISO 800 (only available in Candlelight mode) is almost unusable, Overall image quality not up to 8MP image sensor specification.,
Verdict: In keeping with its compact form factor -- less than an inch thick -- the Pentax A10 uses Pentax's Sliding Lens System technology which removes elements from the lens' optical path as it retracts to allow a slimmer profile when the camera is powered off.
Summary: Compact cameras keep getting more and more compact and few do "compact-ness" better than Pentax. With the Optio A10, Pentax has packed plenty of imaging potential into a solid, sleek, well-designed camera that's small enough to toss into a bag or slide in
