Digital Camera Reviews: Choose the Best Compact Camera

After years of making modern-looking compacts with half-hearted performances, Pentax seems to be looking for inspiration in past success. The I-10's design is based on the Pentax Auto 110 mini SLR (110 becomes I-10, you see?), with the brand almost certainly hoping to rekindle nostalgia for a once iconic product ... a bit like VW's New Beetle. And with a wide-angle 5x zoom lens and a stabilised 12-Megapixel sensor, this 2010 remake looks to be pretty well-equipped. When reworking a design that's 30 years old (the Auto 110 was presented at the Photokina trade show in 1980), you'd think the first logical thing to do would be to update the build and manufacturing quality. We were a little disappointed on that front though, as the Optio I-10 is housed in a hard, basic plastic casing, which gives a less-than-reassuring hollow sound when tapped, particularly on the bump that houses the flash. The grey plastic moulding on the top of the camera looks like it's straight out of a Playmobil car and the battery compartment door wobbles distinctly. On the back there's a 2.7-inch 16:9 widescreen LCD.

Pentax Optio i-10 review

The Pentax Optio Digital I-10's appearance may not seem all too foreign to all because it's based on the company's old Micro SLR series. The original cameras would take 35mm film but shoot at half the size (fitting in two shots per frame). Sadly the I-10 doesn't benefit from such an equivalent large digital sensor size, instead opting for a standard smaller-sized 12.1MP CCD compact sensor. Quirkily designed, the I-10 is an affordable compact with a variety of features under its belt. A 28-140mm (5x optical) lens provides a wide range of potential, from semi-wideangle to short-tele and the CCD-shift Image Stabilisation mechanism ensures images are kept sharp when using lower shutter speeds or in low light. Pentax i10 review sample image - click for full size gallery Although full manual control isn't available, the Program mode does ensure an ample amount of control - with the ability to adjust ISO, white balance, exposure metering and compensation. Among a variety of scene modes there's also the ability to shoot 720p HD movie, which for the 150 asking price sees the Optio I-10 relatively well kitted-out.
