'More unusually still at this level, the K-x’s light sensitivity settings can be boosted to a semi-pro equivalent ISO 12,800 for flash free photography in the near dark and 16:9 widescreen format HD video recording – at 1280 x 720 pixels, 24fps, rather than Full HD 1920 x 1080 – marking this out as an affordable all-in-one device. '
'Small and light, the Pentax K-x seems like a well-built, no-nonsense digital SLR'
'The new K-x felt sturdy.'
'The camera also features a new 'cross-processing' mode on top of an already impressive range of filters and processing options. '
'Pentax's ingenuity here may already be obsolete.'

The Pentax Optio M50 is an ultra-compact digicam with a flare for style and fun.'
'The K10D was more rugged and feature-packed than any Pentax digital SLR before it.'
'serious, powerful photographic tool'
'The 14.6 megapixels Pentax K20D is amazingly fitted with nearly every feature possible for a DSLR camera: stabilization, dust-reduction, weatherproofing, advanced customization, digital white-balance preview, depth-of-field preview and live-view'
'There's plenty of scope for adjusting various parameters including, the picture resolution and image compression level, ISO sensitivity (from 50 to 3200)'
'The camera does not have a focus-assist lamp and focus acquisition in low light is slow to non-existent.'
'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.'

'there is noticeable chromatic aberration in the corners and the right-hand side is quite soft, especially the upper right corner.'
'The other big omission is the lack of any form of image stabilisation other than a clumsy boost to the ISO rating - it's a major oversight on this sort of camera.'
'It is capable of adjusting to up to ISO 3200 in order to match the brightness of the subject.'
'LCD display with a higher-than average resolution of 230,000 pixels.'
