TrustedReviews have reviewed the Pentax A40, a new compact digital camera offering 12 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD monitor and 3x optical zoom lens.

“Image quality has never been a major problem for Pentax’s high-spec cameras, and here the A40 shows its class. Focusing, exposure metering and colour reproduction are all excellent. The lens quality is also up to Pentax’s usual high standard, with superb sharpness from edge to edge and no chromatic aberration. It does produce some barrel distortion at both ends of the zoom range, but it is fairly even. Noise control is about average for a 12MP compact camera, with very good picture quality up to 200 ISO, and then progressively lower quality from the just-about-printable 400 ISO to the pretty ugly maximum of 1600 ISO.”
