Pentax K200D review

Pentax K200D review

The Pentax K200D is a user-friendly, entry-level dSLR. If you've got old Pentax lenses hiding in the closet, you can give them some fresh air with this compatible camera. Its use of AA batteries and SD/SDHC cards make it accessible and you'll find some surprisingly clever features Read more

Pentax Optio A40 review

Pentax Optio A40 review

We associate Pentax compacts with cheery, child-like styling, but the top-of-the-range Optio A40 is striving to be taken rather more seriously. Optical image stabilisation, a 12-megapixel resolution, fast performance and excellent image quality all bolster its case -- it's still cute, though Read more

Pentax Optio P70 review

The 12-megapixel Optio P70 boasts an exemplary ultra-compact design, has great features and offers relatively good pictures for the target audience -- those who want to step up from taking snaps with their phone. We wish it was speedier though, and its low-light shots aren't great Read more

Pentax Optio E60 review

The Optio E60 is a relatively inexpensive ultra-compact that produces good pictures for a camera in its class. It's also extremely easy to use, thanks to large controls and a reliable auto mode. Limited features, however, mean the E60 isn't one for those who like to experiment Read more

Pentax K20D review

Pentax K20D review

It's neither entry level nor professional dSLR, but the Pentax K20D sits comfortably in between the two categories. Boasting 14 megapixels and a load of excellent features, this shooter can run with the big boys while still being small enough to carry without hurting your back Read more

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 pocketable compact camera Read more
