Pentax Optio T20 Review
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.95 (out of 10)
Review: "As straightforward upgrade to the Optio T-10, the Optio T-20 retains all the innovative features of its predecessor and adds a 7-megapixel sensor with 800 ISO support.

It's a camera that's crammed full of extras, although you'd never guess this from its appearance alone. It has only five control switches - including the power button and the shutter release. There are no cursor keys or navigation buttons - a menu button, zoom dial and playback switch make up the full complement.

Image quality is good, with natural-looking colors and pleasing levels of detail from such a physically small lens. Build quality is excellent. Constructed from a shiny aluminum alloy with rounded edges, it's both sturdy and stylish while thin enough to be easily pocketable....

Review: "The Pentax Optio T20 from the outside looks like any ordinary compact camera. Small and compact, the camera is just 19.5-mm thick, there is your standard 3x optical zoom, and a large LCD display on the back. However its not until you look closer that you realize that the camera is void of buttons.

Yes there is the shutter and zoom buttons on the top, but the back sports just a menu and playback. Where are all those buttons you ask, well, and here is the clever bit, Pentax has opted for a large 3-inch LCD touchscreen that gives enough room for big fingers to touch the on-screen menu.

We love the design, we love the concept, we love the picture quality, and we especially love the large touchscreen on the back, however we don't love the fact that it takes so long to take pictures that you miss the action. Even when we were just trying to snap a group of friends in the bar it was embarrassingly slow."
