Pentax Optio W10 digital camera review
Imaging-resource has posted a review of the Pentax Optio W10 digital camera.
Dan Havlik writes: After spending a day with the Pentax W10 at a lake in the Poconos, I grew enamored with this model and what it was capable of doing underwater without the weight of a cumbersome housing. Pictures I shot at the lake were some of my favorites of the summer, offering good color and sharpness in shots taken on dry land, while bobbing up and down on a raft, and below the surface. We’re still waiting for a waterproof digital camera without so many compromises, but until that day comes, the
Optio W10 is a good choice. Digital photography is about fun, and while the pros and cons are about even, if you’re looking to take the plunge with a waterproof camera, the Pentax Optio W10 will serve.

Rcresource has posted a review of the Pentax K100D digital camera.
Jeff Keller writes: What I liked:
- Very good photo quality; low noise through ISO 800
- Great value
- Image stabilization system works with all Pentax lenses
- Solid construction; doesn’t feel “cheap” despite the low price
- Large 2.5″ LCD display
- Full manual controls, as you’d expect
- Good (but slow) low light focusing
- Redeye not a problem
- Decent RAW editing software included
- Uses AA batteries
- USB 2.0 High Speed support
What I didn’t care for:
- Buffer memory fills up way too quickly; unimpressive continuous shooting mode as a result
- Performance not quite as good as other D-SLRs
- Some vignetting with kit lens
- Menus not terribly user friendly
- Limited white balance options (no fine-tuning or color temperature setting)
- No backlight for LCD info display

Pentax Optio E10 Review
Camera.co.uk has posted a review of the Pentax Optio E10 digital camera.
They write: In price terms the Pentax Optio E10 is a cheap camera. Despite this I do not feel able to recommend it. When it comes to ease of use you will struggle to find cameras much more straightforward than this one, but it is let down by the quality of photos it takes.

Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Pentax Optio A10 digital camera.
They write: I am struggling to come up with any really solid reasons for buying the Pentax Optio A10 over other digital cameras with a similar specification. It is not a bad camera or anything like that it is just in a competitive market a digital camera needs something to stand out and say buy me. Try as I might I cannot come up with that elusive reason to buy the Optio A10.

Pentax K100D Digital Camera Review
Digitalcamerareview has posted a review of the Pentax K100D Digital Camera.
Howard Creech writes: Serious amateur shooters may have a few issues, but family snap-shooters, P&S digicam users just making the jump to a dSLR, student photographers, casual shutterbugs, and old timers with a collection of Pentax glass will appreciate the K100D’s reasonable price, robust construction, operational simplicity, use of available anywhere AA batteries, image stabilization, and solid performance. Institutions that teach basic photography should very seriously
consider the K100D since no currently available dSLR offers a better balance of features and capabilities and compatibility with thousands of KAF, KA, K, S (M42), and Pentax Medium Format optics. The K100D may actually be a more practical and useful imaging tool than its illustrious predecessor. Shooters who don’t need image stabilization can opt for the Pentax K110D (which is identical to the K100D — minus IS) and save a hundred bucks.

Pentax Optio W10 Digital Camera Review
Digitalcamerainfo has posted a review of the Pentax Optio W10 Digital Camera. Patrick Singleton: writes: The Pentax Optio W10 is a waterproof compact camera with a 3x zoom lens, 6-megapixel CCD and a list price of $299.95. Though waterproofing might seem like a gimmick – how many pictures does anyone need of their kids underwater? — Waterproof cameras
are, by definition, sealed against dust, dirt, and moisture. The W10 should be a durable camera, ready to be carried in pockets and taken out in the rain. It’s also tough enough for even small children to use on their own.

Pentax Optio T10 Review
Megapixel.net has posted a review of the Optio T10 Digital Camera by Pentax. They write:
The Pentax Optio T10 has photographic characteristics that are commonly found on many other compact cameras. Its 6-megapixel resolution and 3X are almost a norm nowadays.
The distinguishing features of the T10 however are its high-resolution touch display monitor, useable with fingertips or with the stylus enclosed with the camera; and an interface that is both intuitive and easy to learn.
