Pentax Optio M85 review

 

With its M85, Pentax appears to be going all-out to provide the most impressive specs for the lowest price possible. Inside the slim, aluminium shell there's a massive 3in screen and Li-ion battery, and it can even record 720p HD video – not bad for £95.

Tries to provide too much for too little – sadly, image quality is overlooked.
