7x optical zoom, attractive design, impressive array of modes and features, 52MB of onboard memory

No optical image stabiliser, below average image quality and battery life

The Pentax Optio Z10 is not without flaws, but the 7x optical zoom and impressive feature set help boost its appeal. For the asking price it is a decent little unit.

Solid build ; Easy to use

A bit bulky for a compact ; Poor image quality ; Flawed autofocus

A pocket-sized camera with a 7x zoom lens and 8MP to play with is a tempting package. The Pentax Optio Z10 scores in terms of build quality and the ease of use, but the image quality and autofocus are poor when compared with other, similarly priced...

The Pentax has a 7x optical zoom lens; cute sliding lens cover design.

Slow between shots; no optical or sensor-shift image stabilization.

Pentax's Optio Z10 isn't quite as nice as the company's Optio S10, but its attractive price helps make up for its quirks and modest feature set.
