'many digital cameras are touted as amazing these days, but the Pentax Optio A30 is truly unique and offers photograph takers the chance to see what Pentax has to offer.'
'The lengthy cover tethers can be annoying when attempting to snap the cover back into the body of the camera quickly.'
'Folks with large hands might find the camera a little difficult to manipulate with regard to the OK button and four-way controller.'
'the rechargeable D-LI8 lithium ion battery allows for approximately 150 photos and 110 minutes of playback time.'
'The Optio SV incorporates Pentax's Sliding Lens System which means a reduction in the length of the lens and also allows for compact dimensions of 28mm wide'
'There is no AF-assist lamp on the Optio SV, unfortunately.'
'However, discriminating shooters will find the poor performance'
'Bumping the ISO up to 100 still produces good results, but ISO 200 and 400 definitely result in image degradation due to noise.'
'With the optional, acrylic waterproof housing that is newly-designed for the Optio S4i, everywhere may well include the exciting world of underwater digital photography'
'large prints and full-size viewing it's disappointing.'
'If you have large hands, the S4i's small size will pose a challenge when you try to change the zoom with your thumb and keep your finger on the trigger while holding the camera one-handed.'
'Unfortunately, the resolution of the screen is not so hot, with just 85k pixels (compare that with 118k pixels on the PowerShot S410's 1.5" display).'
