For its 2010 range, Pentax seems to have sought inspiration in the past with cameras that are reminiscent of the brand's past successes. The Optio H90 has an attractive two-tone retro design that looks similar to a 35 mm compact. It may look good, but is the H90 more than just a pretty camera? Time to find out. Although the camera looks like a throwback of the 'ultra-compact' 35 mm cameras of the 1980s (that would seem huge today), it's actually pretty stylish. It certainly looks good, but once you pick up the H90 and start using it, it's a different story entirely. The plastic looks like something straight off a Mini Metro dashboard, the screen lacks definition with viewing angles that are quite simply awful. The lens also wobbles noticeably. Thankfully the controls are simple and, although the menus aren't particularly stylish, they are clear and easy to read. On the whole, the design and handling isn't disastrous, but feels a little sub-standard compared with many of the better-made, better-finished and more pleasant to handle cameras currently on the market. Promotional pictures of the H90 had us hoping for something much better than this.
Trendy design and an affordable price, how does the new Pentax H90 shape up? The What Digital Camera Pentax H90 review investigates... Pentax Optio H90 review - FeaturesThe Pentax H90 is an affordable, strikingly-designed compact ‘inspired by Japanese trends'. With a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor, 28-140mm 5x optical zoom lens and 2.7in, 230K-dot LCD screen, it's possible to shoot stills or even 720p HD video. A Programme Auto (P) mode features to allow user-defined sensitivity adjustment from ISO 80-1600 (3200-6400 at a 5MP size), as well as exposure compensation and in-camera digital filter effects, such as black and white shooting mode. As such the Pentax H90 is an ideal point-and-shoot snapper that comes with a rechargeable li-ion battery - at around 130 it's a competitively affordable product that should appeal to those on a limited budget. Pentax H90 review - Design The Pentax H90 comes in one of three choice finishes - silver & orange, black & white or silver & white. Each design has a ‘top strip' of colour across the upper quarter of the camera which makes for a striking and unique design.
