Pentax Optio E10 review

 

A whopping six megapixels for just over a ton - nice.

6 megapixels for around £100 ; Good performer ; Wide-ranging set of useful features

Slow shutter speed means it's difficult to photograph moving objects well

Pentax has made a bold move by offering a 6Mp compact for around £100. It's well suited to a fledgling photographer with its excellent image quality and simplicity.

Pentax Optio E10

 

Pentax Optio E10 is a simple, straightforward starter camera. Available at a lower price you will also find the camera pleasingly easy to use.

Ease of use

Noise and general picture quality ; Small internal memory ; Shutter lag

The Pentax Optio E10 is one of the cheapest six megapixel digital cameras you will find. It is very easy to use and the build quality of the camera is also good considering its price. Unfortunately the camera is let down by the all important quality of...

MMM not so much

 

6 MP is pretty nice when you view the pictures on a PC

The screen has a relatively low resolution. I think the worst part about this camera is how slow the response rate. From Click to store takes too long and then a refresh after is also long

Bad

 

I would never buy this camera again, I thought I could trust this brand but I will shopping around before I get another camera

The brand name is what got me wanting this camera.The viewing screen is clear and the price was great.

I cannot stand the speed of the shutter.You have to wait so long and usually what you are taking the picture of, is gone(family pet, kids etc...).

Bad

 

I would not recommend this camera for beginners. The shutter is very tricky & not simple to use. It has two stages and i find most of my photos are blurry.

Looks good & has a good sized screen

Hard to focus
