Pentax Optio Z10
Review summary: The Pentax Optio Z10 is penalized by too many defects (autofocus, noise control, lens quality, no stabilization) for us to recommend it. We prefer the Ricoh R7 which has a wide angle amongst other things.

Pentax Optio Z10
Review summary: The Pentax Optio Z10 is an 8 Megapixel compact with a 7x optical zoom lens and 2.5in screen. Announced in August 2007, it has the highest zoom of any compact in the Pentax range at the time of writing
Pros: 7x optical zoom gives relatively long reach ; Lens doesn't extend from body ; Lens can zoom while filming video ; Sharpness, contrast and saturation controls ; 7x optical zoom gives relatively long reach ; Lens doesn't extend from body ; Lens can zoom ...
Cons: No optical or sensor-shift stabilisation ; Poor results in our resolution test ; No true wide angle or alignment grid ; More compelling rivals ; No optical or sensor-shift stabilisation ; Poor results in our resolution test ; No true wide angle or ...
Verdict: Viewed in isolation, the Z10 is a fair compact with a bigger than average zoom, and a non-extending lens which unusually can be used while filming a video. But the lack of optical or sensor-shift stabilisation is pretty unforgivable in this day and ...

Pentax Optio Z10
Review summary: It's not easy for a camera company to make a small, good-looking camera that takes nice pictures. With its sliding lens cover design, the Pentax Optio Z10 favours a long 7x optical zoom lens and nice image quality -- all excellent qualities for a ...
Pros: 7x optical zoom lens ; cute sliding lens cover design
Cons: Slow between shots ; no optical or sensor-shift image stabilisation
Verdict: Pentax's Optio Z10 isn't quite as nice as the company's Optio S10, but its attractive price helps make up for its quirks and modest feature set

Pentax Optio Z10
Review summary: Announced in August 2007, the 8-megapixel Pentax Optio Z10 stepped into the digital camera market with a $249 retail price tag. Its main draw is its internal 7x optical zoom lens, covered by a metal sliding door when powered down. Other perks include ...
Pros: - Functional optical zoom in Movie mode - LCD resolution - 52 MB internal memory - Very compact - Red-eye fix - Lots of playback editing - Decent movie mode - Better resolution than other internal lens cameras
Cons: - LCD glare and grease - Slow refresh rate on LCD - No AF assist beam - Gimmicky shake reduction - Slow autofocus - Small aperture - High noise and low dynamic range above ISO 200 - Poor color accuracy - Poor low light performance
Verdict: The Pentax Optio Z10 packs a lot of seemingly great features into a small body. It has 8.1 megapixels and a 7x optical zoom lens that goes beyond the typical 3-4x zoom offered on most slim digital cameras. It also has a decently-sized 2.5-inch LCD ...
