Pentax Optio S12 review

Pentax Optio WP review
Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, this compact, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot camera is ideal for snorkelling, swimming and other aquatic fun. A few performance issues aside, the slim Pentax Optio WP delivers plenty of user-friendly features and perfectly acceptable snapshot image quality Read more

Pentax Optio S5n review
From the compact size and the tweedle-beep that it makes on start-up to the bright contrasty LCD and the icon-based menus, the 5-megapixel Optio S5n is a cute little camera that'll find a home in your heart as well as your pocket. Read more

Pentax Optio A30 review
An understated 10-megapixel compact, the Pentax Optio A30's cutesy menu system and fully automatic 'green mode' make this as user-friendly as lower-spec cameras in the Optio range. But with a high resolution and optical image stabilisation, this merits its higher price Read more

Pentax Optio A10 review
Pentax's Optio A10 boasts some impressive specs, including 8-megapixel resolution, sensor-shifting shake reduction, ISO 800 sensitivity and a high-resolution 232,000-pixel 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD. It produces decent images under a variety of conditions, but suffers from excessive noise above ISO 200 Read more

Pentax Optio S50 review
Yet another entry into the increasingly crowded field of 5-megapixel snapshot cameras, the Pentax Optio S50 boasts more features than such form-over-function offerings as the Canon Digital Ixus 30, but lags slightly behind Pentax's own S5i for versatility. Read more

Pentax Optio W10 review
This postman-worthy camera is specially sealed to prevent damage from the elements, completely submersible in water to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and impenetrable to dust particles as fine as talcum powder. Sadly, it suffers from a dim display, mediocre performance and serious image artefacting Read more

Pentax Optio S5z review
The Optio S5z is a direct update of the smart little S5n, and is very similar -- except for the extra 13mm of LCD screen on the back. Other changes include a battery charger instead of the Optio S5n's docking station and a new Comment function that leaves a blank strip along the bottom of your photo Read more
