Product Details
Description:
Destined to be the flagship of the Optio digital camera line, the high-end Optio A10 offers the pinnacle of Pentax compact digital photography. With 8.0 megapixels, a 3X zoom lens, the Optio A10 is the first Pentax compact digital with an innovative Shake Reduction system to help ensure sharper images. Pentax developed Shake Reduction to eliminate situations where camera shake typically causes blurred images such as telephoto or indoor shots without a flash. The Shake Reduction mechanism is made possible by two internal gyro sensors that detect camera shake while a dedicated CPU calculates the required correction to compensate for the level of camera shake while focusing. In turn, a proprietary mechanism adjusts the CCD automatically based on the calculation and compensates for the camera shake to help deliver sharper images. The Pentax Optio A10 also features DivX, a fully Certified Encoder device that captures full-screen VGA video. Equipped with DivX, the Optio A10 allows users to capture, create, play and share high-quality video content across a range of other DivX equipped devices and platforms such as DVD players, recorders and portable media players.

Splendid camera
Strengths: Good Shake Reduction system, movie quality
Weakness: Battery life is poor
Optio A10 Digital Camera is splendid camera with stylish design. It is very small and it has excellent performances. Shake reduction system is very useful in eliminating common visual shakiness especially when the speed shutter is set at no more that 1/4 seconds. The quality of movies is very good and the resulting file has a small enough size. The 2.5 inch diagonal LCD is very nice and it has a...

Excellent Camera - Value for money
Strengths: Brilliant Colors, Amazing pictures, Excellent 640x480 30fps DivX Video. Captures as much as 2 hours on a 2GB card. Excellent Battery life.
Weakness: No zoom in video capture. No support for SD cards more than 2GB. Can't find anything else wrong with this.
Got this camera about a year ago and still love it. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a quality camera that doubles for a camcorder. Really compact and easy to carry around. Wish it could take a 4GB SD or a 8GB SDHC card.

Great features, sluggish speed
Strengths: Editing features/modes, compact design, easy charging, movie mode (MPEG4)
Weakness: Sluggish speed
I love everything about this camera EXCEPT... it is so sluggish that when you press the button to take a picture it takes a few seconds before the picture is actually taken. You miss the "Kodak moment" every time. Although I loved its other features, I was forced to return it because of this major flaw. Very disappointing.
