Digital Camera Review
Jan 11, 2007
- By Patrick Singleton
The Pentax Optio E30 is a 7.1-megapixel compact camera with a 3x zoom and an entry-level price: Pentax set the minimum advertised price at $149.95. We looked at a preproduction unit at the Consumer Electronics Show and ran through its features noting the areas where Pentax economized and what it offers the snapshooter on a budget.
Picture Quality / Size Options
The Optio E30 offers image pixel dimensions of 7, 5, 4, 3, 0.7 Megapixels, and VGA. The E30 records only JPEGS, but it offers three levels of compression, indicated by 1, 2 or 3 stars. The smallest sizes are appropriate for email and onscreen display.
Picture Effects Mode
The Optio E30 doesn't offer specific effects, but it has controls for contrast, saturation and sharpness. Each control can be set to high, low or medium.
