Steves Digicams have reviewed the 8 megapixel Pentax M40 camera, which offers a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5 inch LCD, metal body, Face Recognition and digital Shake Reduction.

“When shooting outdoors, the M40 captures nice images showing pleasing exposure and rich colors. I did notice a slight amount of softness along the left hand side of the frame in many of our samples. Luckily, this model features in-camera sharpness adjustment, which will allow you to “dial in” the preferred amount. Image noise is an issue we touch on with almost every camera, especially when the model features such high sensitivity settings (like up to 3200 on the M40). With this camera, noise levels were average throughout the sensitivity range, becoming more noticeable from ISO 800 and above.”
