Performance Expectations
Unable to conduct our typical battery of lab tests on the convention floor, a true assessment of the W30 is not possible, but this First Impression review can give readers a general idea of the preproduction W30's capabilities.
The Digital Shake Reduction setting worked particularly well to reduce subject motion with a boost to 3200 ISO. Pentax’s decision to set the auto ISO to 400 seemed destined to produce noise in nearly every situation. It would make more sense to have the auto setting automatically adjust for lighting conditions, like so many camera manufacturers have done.
