Image quality

 

Pentax Optio 750Z

Versatile swiveling LCD; full manual controls; solid macro capabilities.

No raw support; sluggish performance; image artifacts; no external flash connection.

A 7-megapixel shooter with a good design and feature set but compromised by slow performance and image problems.

Pentax Optio 750Z

 

A fun camera with lots of bells and whistles, the Pentax Optio 750Z, sadly, doesn't deliver top-quality images.

A very powerful and versatile camera with great menus; articulated LCD viewer, 5X zoom lens, focusable diopter on optical viewfinder, five bracketing modes; well-placed, easily accessible controls.

Problems with exposure and color reproduction. Slow bootup, no RAW mode, small LCD viewfinder, feels flimsy.

Pentax Optio 750Z Review

 

The 750Z was announced on 16th August 2004 as a part of Pentax's new line-up for the Photokina 2004 trade show. Pentax are clearly aiming for 'retro appeal' with this camera, from its fake leather front (it's rubber) to the chrome piping, big...

Neutral tone, conservative color response Average noise but high noise reduction Good automatic white balance Good macro performance Good battery life Five times optical zoom, good telephoto reach 1.8" fast refresh LCD with tilt & twist mechanism...

Intrusive noise reduction Higher than normal pincushion distortion Some vignetting visible Lens softness (corner issue a one-off?) Perhaps confusing / overpowering controls Slow startup, slow off to first shot taken No RAW format Limited image...

It's odd but there's something strangely appealing about the 750Z's retro styling, the faux leather front and chrome piping, it's almost comforting. Don't be fooled though this is one seriously modern camera with a huge range of functionality, both...

The Optio 750Z ($499) is Pentax'sentry into the growing field of 7 Megapixel cameras.Building on the Optio 555 from last year, it offersa 5X optical zoom lens, full manual controls, dualfocusing system, VGA movie mode, and rotating LCD display.

Very good photo quality, though see issues below, Fairly-compact, stylish, mostly-metal body with a 5X zoom lens, Full manual controls (and then some), Flip-out, rotating LCD display, Excellent macro, movie modes, Can save favorite settings to mode...
