Conclusion
It’s obvious that the E10 has been built to appeal to users on a budget. It’s not that the Pentax Optio E10 is a bad camera – it’s just that there really isn’t anything outstanding about it. In our limited testing, we found the image quality to be fair, but not great; there’s a certain amount of noise at the maximum ISO setting of 200, and this low maximum ISO will be a problem for low light shooting. At this price point, however, building an outstanding camera is incredibly tough. The E10 is an inexpensive camera, and you get what you pay for. The E10 will cost $199.99 and will be available in February.
