W80 POOR IMAGE QUALITY
As regular participants of this forum will know I (and others) has big issues with the IQ of the W80. I eventually after Pentax agreed a full refund bought a FT2. Anyway this was partly because I never heard back from Pentax, the last e mail I sent them was December 2009. GUESS WHAT? Iv`e just recei...

Pentax X90
I've been given one of these as a present! It's our 35th Wedding Anniversary soon you see, and I have a lovely, kind and considerate wife... Battery is charging now, but what strikes me is that no review ever seems to appreciate the quality of the trappings. Nice box, sturdily made, high quality ...

Optio S50
Sorry to disappoint but I am quiet happy with a sturdy point & shoot that I can put in a pocket & not worry about. I just can't be arsed with the messing about, I just go for the shot. The best pre digi camera I had was an olympus OM1 I think it was, 35mm compact, slide over lens cover. Magic.. No...

X90 - come close to using my slr
I now use an X90 for my eBay photos as composing the shots on the back screen whilst on a tripod has proved quite convenient. LiveView on a DSLR could be used in a similar way, but the X90 advantage is the ability to simply switch in macro focusing settings without having to change lenses. So no ...

Memory Card
John, Your a Star. I couldn't work out if an SDHC was the same thing or not, so many seem to be them! Shows how dumb I am! The manual ses 2GB but I was going yo try a larger one; praps not. I bought some cards already, and they were totally the wrong size. Lucky for me the company were prepared to...

Pentax W90 - noise at higher ISOs
The feel of the W90 is great, feels good in the hands and the operation buttons are placed well. There are plenty of settings for all shooting modes. I feel for a point and shoot camera the picture quality is way above average. I think most people who by point shoots expect SLR quality photos, which...

The Optio I-10
Hi folks, I was a huge Auto 110 fan back in the day and am interested in the Optio I-10 mostly for nostalgic reasons. Has anyone got one, and would you care to compare it to other 12.1MP Optios? I appreciate any and all input as always. Cheers,

The Optio I-10
Hi All, I've just purchased one of these from Jacobs in New Oxford Street in London. I wanted to try beforeI committed to buy and they were the only West End dealer with stock. It was very close to closing time but the staff were very helpful. I did try the RZ10 which is also excellent and has a 10...

The Optio I-10
I generally use DSLRs or more advanced cameras, but, as I found it for €99, I confess I made a compulsive buying ;) The alleged reasons were that the tiny Samsung NV3 I always carry in my pocket was getting old ;) and lacked a true anti-shake feature. Here is a small rather pessimistic review of...

The Optio I-10
whether people buy the kenko is irrelevant to Pentax, other than an increase in cctv lens sales if it does sell. (odds are used one on evilbay will start moving) Would I buy this camera for me? nope. But my little boy does spend an aweful lot of time video taping his cats and constantly bugs for...

The Optio I-10
To get back on topic, I do feel that the i10 is rather a damp squib. It's just an inexpensive p&s with a nod in the direction of the shape of the Auto-110. It seems to have very mixed reviews concerning image quality, though in some cases those complaining seem to be DSLR owners who are not maki...

Optio RZ10 review
I've just bought one - went for boring black though! I wanted a replacement for my Ricoh Caplio that is getting a bit tired and struggles to focus these days but did not want to spend much. I must say for under £100 I am pretty pleased with the features of this camera and the build quality is be...

Bracketing?
I do understand that the DSLR is the best tool for the job, but sometimes I just dont have it with me - and its often at those times, I see something that would make a great picture. So a compact would be great, and the more DSLR functions is can manage, then better. When I go for a run, I dont l...

Pentax I-10 vs Fuji F50
A test was needed because Sue wasn't happy with her new I-10 and thought she did better with her F50.The Fuji F50 is one of the best compacts they have made and replacement would be tricky as their later models are just not as good. The I-10 she bought on a whim because she liked the look of it, cer...

Which Optio should I get for in my pocket
The reason most compacts have relatively slow response times is that they don't calculate exposure and/or focus until the moment you actually press the shutter button - those calculations then taking place before the picture is recorded. It varies from camera to camera but in my experience a compac...

Experience with the Pentax WG-1 GPS
Hi Axel. I have a WG-1, although have not had it for long. I bought it to have something pocket-able and rugged, especially for climbing, when my hands are usually covered in sweat and chalk and a DSLR would be less practical. I haven't yet tested it a great deal - not underwater as yet, but I have ...
