Pentax Optio E40 review

Reviews Pentax's Optio range has offered increasingly good value and steady, consistent performance, even if it hasn't always boasted the talking points and gimmicks of other brands -- and curiously, when it has attempted to do so, with rotating or...

Pentax Optio M30: Snap your snacks, kids

Crave The Optio M30 is a slim and slinky 18mm-deep compact camera, packing 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and a 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD screen. It's very easy to use and there are even some higher-end features tacked on, all at a very respectable price...

Pentax K100D Super digital SLR: Dustbuster for beginners

Crave Pentax has announced the 6.1 megapixel K100D Super, the latest outstretched hand into the narrowing gap between digital SLR and consumer compact. Pentax has obviously decided to add anti-dust functionality to make the SLR experience less intimidating.

Pentax K100D Super review

Reviews Without quite the marketing bite of Canon or Nikon, Pentax has been relying on keen pricing to push its dSLRs to the forefront of consumer consciousness and at £370 for body and 18-55mm lens, the Pentax K100D Super is significantly cheaper than...

Pentax *ist DS review

Reviews Although the most compact of the sub-£600 digital SLRs, the Pentax *ist DS is not a lightweight when it comes to functionality. Separate command dials are more convenient, but the Pentax's single-dial system is easy to use.

Pentax K100D review

Reviews About 30 years ago, Pentax released the K1000, a film SLR that would become legendary as an inexpensive workhorse camera with which countless students would -- and still do -- learn the finer aspects of photography.

Pentax Optio SV review

Reviews A 5x optical zoom lens, excellent macro capabilities, and a burst mode that doesn't know when to stop differentiate the otherwise average Pentax Optio SV from the proliferation of 5-megapixel snapshot cameras.

Pentax Optio S50 review

Reviews Yet another entry into the increasingly crowded field of 5-megapixel snapshot cameras, the Pentax Optio S50 boasts more features than such form-over-function offerings as the Canon Digital Ixus 30, but lags slightly behind Pentax's own S5i for...

Pentax Optio V20 review

Reviews Face detection, smile detection and now blink detection -- Pentax ups the facial recognition stakes with an auto-everything snapper that claims to deliver the perfect portrait. Build quality is good all round -- the metal shell is light but solid...

Pentax Optio S55 review

Reviews Pentax currently has a slew of 5-megapixel cameras on the shelves. Among them is the Pentax Optio S55, an ultracompact model with a 3x optical zoom, tailored slightly more toward the novice than the company's S5z.

Pentax Optio Z10 review

Reviews While most camera companies were designing cameras with sliding lens covers to mimic Sony's T-series cameras, Pentax didn't jump on that bandwagon. But now that sliding covers have become a regular part of the digital camera design aesthetic...

Pentax Optio A40 review

Reviews The Pentax Optio A40 is at the top end of the company's Optio range, boasting 12 megapixels and a £185 price tag. But we still associate Pentax compacts with cheery, child-like styling and such novelties as the sound of a cat miaowing when you...

Pentax K200D review

Reviews The Pentax K200D has a lot to live up to after we expressed so much love for the Pentax K100D Super. It takes Pentax KA, KAF and KAF2-mount lenses, plus K-mount lenses, which will fit, but won't work with the autofocus.

Pentax K10D review

Reviews If you're looking to start afresh with a dSLR system but don't have much cash to plunk down, the Pentax K10D may be your budget's dream come true. For instance, Pentax uses a very point-and-shoot-like Fn menu to adjust ISO speed, white balance...
