great camera digital optical zoom5
I love my Pentax Optio Z10, it is small easy to travel with. I love how you just slide the lens cover to turn on and off. takes great pictures

Good Value4
This is a great 8mp digital camera for the money. It was extremely easy to figure out all of the options, and I am sure that anyone who is somewhat used to digital cameras would agree. I love the zoom!

love this pentax optio digital camera5
I am in love with this camera. I own a Pentax digital SLR so of course when it came time to get a point & shoot, I went with trusty Pentax. I love the 7x zoom and 8 mega pixels is more than enough for a point & shoot. It’s so much smaller that it appears in the pictures (which is good). I highly recommend this camera. It’s becoming discontinued because new models are coming out (this one is much better), so hurry!

A truly extraordinary little camera,5
I am about to travel around the world and want an alternative to my Digital Pentax K10D, particularly when wishing to be unobtrusive in third-world countries. First, I spent some time with the Panasonic LX2 — same camera as the Leica at less than half the price — which has some unique features and seems to be a terrific camera. BUT it won’t go into a shirt pocket because the marvelous Leica lens protrudes. At a hefty (!) 7.8 oz, it weighs 56% more than the Optio Z10’s 5 oz. The Optio is so small that there is nothing to hold onto. The Panasonic is better in that respect, but significantly bulkier.

I had just about decided to send both cameras back when I realized that I hadn’t even looked at the few pix I had taken with the pentax Optio. So I duly transferred them to my Mac and was absolutely astonished by the results. For reasons I don’t understand, the Optio seems to handle subtle shades in the sky and clouds better than the K10.

The bottom line: The Optio produces razor-sharp pictures, even when using the 7x zoom hand-held at a slow shutter speed. Given some of the negative comments in these pages, I really didn’t expect that. The design of the camera is superb. I only wish there were some semblance of a grip to hold onto.
