Pentax Z10 Review at TrustedReviews

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | September 29, 2007 | 1 Comments

Pentax Z10TrustedReviews have reviewed the 8 megapixel Pentax Z10 camera, which has a 7x optical zoom, Face Recognition for improved portraits and ISO 3200 mode.

“Of course the crucial factor for any camera, especially one with a radical new lens, is image quality, and here the verdict is, I’m afraid, not good. The lens lacks sharpness and fine detail, as well as producing significan distortion at wide angle, and the tiny 1/2.5-in sensor lacks dynamic range and colour depth. As well as this there are severe image noise problems at all ISO settings from 100 upwards. The Z10 has a maximum ISO setting of 3200 but I have no idea why, since images at this setting are so noisy as to be utterly useless.”

got this camera at costco to replace another pentax that broke. this one did NOT take ver good pictures. the photos were grainy and lacked sharpness. I'm using it for family photos, etc and I can tell a difference. i am returning this camera. the review above is correct.
