      Pentax Optio A40

      By Bruce Coker

      Review summary: Face detection, shake reduction and 12 mega pixels can't quite make up for the limitations of Pentax's Optio A40. Keep reading for the full report.

      Verdict: The interface is also more than adequate, Pentax having taken the very welcome step of providing on-screen pop-up help for various settings. This is a great way of helping owners to familiarize themselves with the camera, and we wish more ...

      Review summary: Matt Grayson gets to grips with the Pentax Optio A40. A camera with a name like a stretch of road that goes from Oxford to Haverfordwest.

      Pros: Great build quality, Loads of features, Good quality lens, Fast and quiet operation

      Cons: Noise, noise and more noise, Chooses wrong apertures in scene modes

      Verdict: I'm blown away by the feature set of this little compact and the build quality is excellent too. It's unfortunate that something has to give and with the Pentax Optio A40 it's noise control. Frankly, it's rubbish at it. It can't stop even a slight ...
