Pentax Optio I-10

The Optio I-10 is a cool looking retro camera that is compact and takes great pictures. At times it felt like a toy rather than a $250 camera, so be sure to look at the competition before making your final purchase.

Fits in a small pocket ; Great image quality ; Cool retro styling ; Good video quality for compact camera

Zoom control faces backward ; Feels toy like in your hands ; LCD is hard to see in bright sunlight ;

A Good P&S

This camera is everything it promises to be. It takes pretty solid images, especially for a point and shoot, and is easy to navigate. The retro look doesn't disappoint in real life, though it makes the camera less sleek than its peers. The only reason...

Pretty little camera

I was looking for a unique point-and-shoot that wasn\'t too expensive, but still great quality. Pentax seems to be underrated or maybe just overlooked now, but they really are great cameras. I really like this little camera; it\'s sleek and compact and...
