The Pentax Optio W10 has been reviewed by LetsGoDigital where the write, 'The Pentax Optio W10 is a typical example of a small camera aiming at the photographer looking for user convenience and an easy-to-operate camera. This type of user generally isn't keen on having to worry about all sorts of "unnecessary" actions; they just want to capture the fun moment by a simple, single push of the button. The Pentax W10 is a camera that features virtually no manual settings, but does offer a diversity of creative photo options through the intelligent in-camera software.'

A review has been done on the Pentax K110D by CNET where they write, 'While in most cases the Pentax K100D improves on the company's previously best-performing camera, the *ist DS2, the one place it loses ground is at start-up. It's still very impressive though, powering up and capturing its first JPEG or raw image in 1.2 seconds and subsequent images at 0.5-second intervals without flash, slowing noticeably to 1.7 seconds between shots with the pop-up flash turned on. Shutter lag measured 0.4 second in our high-contrast test and 1.3 seconds under low-contrast conditions.'

There's a review on the Pentax Optio A10 by Megapixel where they write, 'The Pentax Optio A10 offers impressive characteristics: very compact, an 8-megapixel resolution, a 3X optical zoom, and an image stabilization system.

Easy to carry, the Optio A10 is an excellent companion on an outing, as soon as one becomes familiar with it, and as long as one can take time to capture images in a leisurely fashion.'

Positives of the Pentax Optio A10 were,

• 'Very good image quality with good light.
• Excellent metering.
• Reliable white balance.
• Excellent colour rendition.
• Image stabilizer.
• Excellent high resolution monitor.
• Extremely well finished.'

Negative aspects of the Pentax Optio A10 included,

• 'Compression too strong at the highest image quality.
• Sensitive to noise above 200 ISO.
• Underpowered Flash.
• Slow zoom and auto focus.
• Limited autonomy on a single battery charge.'

ThinkCamera has a review on the Pentax Optio M10 where on this Pentax camera they state, 'The M10 is a camera I was initially unsure of, but while I've had it for review it's grown on me, and I can definitely say it's a good choice of camera for novices - it has the specification you'd expect and the right level of freedom. More experienced photographers may find the lack of total control and image quality a bit constricting but the size and robustness of the camera would make it a worthy travel camera.' 'The picture quality of the M10 is what you'd expect from an entry level camera - the colours are reasonable but a bit soft and the red especially looks a bit thin and washy. The camera suffers from a bit of purple fringing...'

A review of the Pentax K100D by ePhotozine was completed where they state, 'The K100D performs well for its price point. Noise levels are acceptable, being better than the Pentax-based Samsung GX-1S. The Canon EOS 5D outclasses the Pentax, but then it should do, it costs around three times the price of the Pentax.' 'The K100D performs well for a six megapixel camera producing a sharp image with plenty of detail. The eight megapixel Olympus E-330 appears to be matched, as any difference in the amount resolved is negligible.' 'If you're looking for your first digital SLR, the Pentax K100D is well worth a look.'

The group at DCRP has put out a review on the Pentax Optio A10 where they write, 'The Optio A10 is an ultra-compact camera with an 8 Megapixel CCD and 3X optical zoom lens. The body is made mostly of metal, and it feels very solid for the most part. Weak spots include the usual flimsy door over the battery and memory card compartment and the plastic tripod mount. Speaking of which, you can't swap memory cards while the camera is on a tripod. The A10 has a CCD-shift type image stabilizer which reduces the effects of "camera shake", allowing you to take sharp photos at shutter speeds that aren't usable on unstabilized cameras. On the back of the camera you'll find a large and sharp 2.5" LCD display. Unfortunately these screen has poor visibility in bright outdoor light as well as dimly lit rooms, and there's no optical viewfinder to use as a backup.'
