Pentax Optio T30 Review at Cameratown.com

Review (Summary): "No sooner as Pentax released the Optio T20, the company has upgraded the camera to the Optio T30.

When it comes to image quality, it was great, the 7 megapixel sensor gave us no problem with noise apart from shooting at 3200 (something to be expected), and images where bright, crisp and color balance good in either the snow or bar afterwards."

Review (Summary): "The Pentax T30 is an ultra-compact digital camera that has a touchscreen for menu navigation and image manipulation instead of buttons. From the front it looks like any other modern, elegant camera, but turn it around and you quickly see that this is a totally different animal.

Picture quality is very good under most conditions, and 7.1-megapixel are enough to be able to crop whatever is not needed. It is also enough for most enlargements. The camera takes excellent close-ups, though sometimes you just can't get close enough due to a lack of a super-macro mode. ..."
