Pentax Optio WG-1 review
Tougher than old boots, the Pentax Optio WG-1 rugged camera is ready for almost anything. It takes a decent photo too, and comes with some useful bonus features. Read more

Pentax Optio RS1500 review
The Pentax Optio RS1500's design won't suit everyone and the swappable skins are a gimmick, but it's fundamentally a very respectable budget camera. Its only real weakness is its poor build quality. Read more

Pentax Optio S1 review
The Pentax Optio S1 is small, affordable and doesn't skimp on the specs. Picture quality isn't spectacular but those looking for a simple, stylish compact in the sub-£100 price bracket should definitely give it a shot. Read more

Pentax Optio RS1000 review
The Pentax Optio RS1000 is a basic yet affordable pocket camera that combines the essentials of a high-ish resolution, HD video, large LCD and optical zoom, taking better snaps than expected given its low price. Read more

Pentax Optio M900 review
If you only have £100 or less to spend on a friendly beginner camera, the Pentax Optio M900 offers a fair return for a modest investment. But an outlay of just £50 more will get you a better camera in Nikon's similar S5100 -- and better pictures, too. Read more

Pentax Optio I-10 review
The 12.1-megapixel Optio I-10 is a handsome compact camera, with real retro appeal. Its picture quality isn't going to make anyone's head explode, but it offers a 5x wide-angle zoom, plenty of features to play around with, and the ability to shoot 720p movies Read more

Pentax Optio W80 review
The rugged, 12-megapixel Optio W80 is an attractive little beast that can withstand a good deal of physical punishment. It's over-reliant on its menu system, but it's a versatile snapper, offering a 5x wideangle zoom, a high-def movie mode and a sensitivity range that goes all the way up to ISO 6,400 Read more

Pentax Optio M60 review
The Optio range has always stuck to the company's simple, accessible philosophy, and the Pentax Optio M60 is no exception. This 10-megapixel point-and-shoot compact camera is very slim and light, looks very cute and packs a few interesting features, for a very friendly price of less than £100 Read more

Pentax Optio V20 review
First came face detection; smile shutter mode followed shortly after and now the Pentax Optio V20 sports a 'blink detection' feature. This compact also boasts a generous 5x zoom lens to produce sharp images without distortion. With its large screen, this camera is a good budget option Read more

Pentax Optio A40 review
We associate Pentax compacts with cheery, child-like styling, but the top-of-the-range Optio A40 is striving to be taken rather more seriously. Optical image stabilisation, a 12-megapixel resolution, fast performance and excellent image quality all bolster its case -- it's still cute, though Read more
