Pentax Optio A30 Images

By Rich Trenholm on 26/09/2007

More Pentax USA reviews , RRP: AU$449.95

The good:

  • Optical image stabilisation
  • Decent picture quality
  • Lots of manual options for a compact camera

The bad:

  • Plasticky buttons
  • Weak video

The bottomline:

The Pentax Optio A30 is somewhat modest in hiding respectable picture quality, optical image stabilisation and flexible manual options behind cartoony controls in an understated frame -- all for a very reasonable price, too.

Editors' rating:

6.9/10
