Conclusion
The Pentax M10 sticks to a successful formula. It offers a large and high-quality viewing screen. It attacks the problem of menu confusion and control button “overload”, and yet still offers some hidden functionality. With its Help functions only a button click away, the camera can be used without even reading the instruction manual. It uses easy to find AA alkaline batteries. With 6 MP maximum resolution, this camera can make a sharp 8 x 10 print, make a movie and record a conversation.
However, in sticking to this formula, the M10 doesn’t stand out—at least not as far as we know. Imaging performance is the variable in the value equation, and one that we won’t know until we’ve put the M10 through our tests. Keep reading DigitalCameraInfo.com for the results and full review.
