Steves Digicams Reviews Pentax Optio SV
Steves Digicams have just reviewed the Pentax Optio SV, a compact digicam with 5 Megapixels and 5x zoom lens.
“The ergonomics are good, controls are easy to operate and the Function button makes quickly changing settings a snap. The menu system is easy to navigate and thanks to its 1.8-inch LCD the text is larger and more legible. Its LCD worked great outdoors in bright sunlight and when shooting indoors it “gains up” well, although the image does get a little grainy. We were surprised to find a plastic tripod socket on a camera in this price range. This causes some concern about stripping the threads after continuous use with a tripod or monopod.”
