Destined to be the flagship of the Optio digital camera line, the high-end Optio A10 offers the pinnacle of PENTAX compact digital photography. With 8.0 megapixels, a 3X zoom lens, the Optio A10 is the first PENTAX compact digital with an innovative Shake Reduction system to help ensure sharper images. PENTAX developed Shake Reduction to eliminate situations where camera shake typically causes blurred images such as telephoto or indoor shots without a flash. The Shake Reduction mechanism is made possible by two internal gyro sensors that detect camera shake while a dedicated CPU calculates the required correction to compensate for the level of camera shake while focusing. In turn, a proprietary mechanism adjusts the CCD automatically based on the calculation and compensates for the camera shake to help deliver sharper images. Less

Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent optics for low price and compact size, uses 2 AA batteries, features, 4x zoom
Cons Flash creates shadow in corner in Macro mode and overexposes unless you use ISO50/f8
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's Canon A75, the 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 is currently available at rather low prices. I got mine for $161 after coupons including taxes and shipping at Dell. I also got the 4-Megapixel A520 to see the difference for only $20 more. Your mileage may vary... Read full review »

OVERVIEW
I purchased this camera at circuit city because my old samsung digimax 2.1 camera was quite a bit dated to say the least. I had not taken a look at the cameras on the market as they have progressed over the years. Once my camera's slow speed started to get to me I had to get a new... Read full review »

Very Nice Camera - Love the DivX encoder

bydaxathon May 29, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros DivX Video Small Size Great Features for expert user and point and shoot. Big LCD.
Cons Shots with flash/red eye on take too long.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera for my wife and I because it is extremely compact (about the size of a deck of cards). It has some user control but also a lot of built in modes and automatic point and shoot capability. So if you like to experiment you can, but if you just want to point and shoot you can. The...
