DigiCamReview.co.uk Reviews Pentax Optio S30
DigiCamReview.co.uk have just reviewed the 3 megapixel, entry-level Pentax Optio S30 digital camera.
“Apart from slightly soft images - which can be corrected by changing the in camera sharpness setting - the Pentax Optio S30 produces excellent photos. The images have rich saturated colour, and good detail. Images have fairly low noise. There is little purple fringing. Image compression doesn’t seem to cause jpeg artifacts, and there is a very good range of image sizes and compression options. The macro mode is average, but the super macro mode is excellent. The flash didn’t cause problems when the subject was close - and performed brilliantly in super macro mode. Auto white balance and metering seemed to be good. The movie mode is better than average, recording unlimited videos at 30fps with sound. When inside, the camera does a fairly good job of focusing, the flash is fairly decent, colours are very good, although images are slightly soft.”
