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

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 »
