Title: Pentax Optio E10
Pros: 6 megapixels for around £100, Good performer, Wide-ranging set of useful features
Cons: Slow shutter speed means it's difficult to photograph moving objects well
Verdict: One function of the camera that could hinder you is the maximum sensitivity of a puny ISO200, which will force you to use the fl ash in darker conditions. The flash is a little underpowered and it takes an age to charge up, but at least it doesn't over ex

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
