Steves Digicams Reviews Pentax Optio X

Pentax Optio XSteves Digicams have just reviewed the 5 megapixel, twistable Pentax Optio X.

“The most noticeable feature on this camera is its swiveling body. You can rotate the LCD 270. We found this to be a handy feature, especially when you are trying to capture a picture in a crowd; simply rotate the LCD and hold it over your head. This 2.0-inch monitor is the only viewfinder and we found it works good outdoors, although because it has a reflective coating there are still some angles that reflect the sun and make it difficult to use; this is when it would be nice to have an optical viewfinder. However, the LCD does “gain up” when shooting in low-ambient lighting, which is a plus.”
