Digital Camera Review

- By Michael Chiusano
The Pentax Optio M10 is a 6 megapixel, entry level camera with 3x zoom intended for point-and-shoot snapshots with its friendly Green mode, 22 MB of internal memory, and very few manual controls. The slim camera carries a 2.5-inch LCD screen and initial price tag of $229. It’s slated to ship next month.
Picture Quality / Size Options
The M10 has quality levels ranging from 6M (2816 x 2112 pixels), 5M (2560 x 1920 pixels), 4M (2304 x 1728), 3M (2048 x 1536), 2M (1600 x 1200 pixels), 0.8M (1024 x 768) and 0.3M (640 x 480) at three levels of compression. Movie mode resolution is either 320 x 240 or 160 x 120. In other words, this camera can make a file for email or for a print up to 8 x 10 and perhaps larger.
Picture Effects Mode
Standard options are represented here: black-and-white and sepia, along with what Pentax lists as Red, Pink, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow and Soft. A photo frame can be superimposed on the image, with preset frames for valentines and other graphics.
