Pentax Optio MX Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.50 (out of 10)
It may not be the Holy Grail, but so far no one has figured out how to successfully squeeze high-quality photo- and video-recording into a single compact device. The Pentax Optio MX mostly succeeds because it doesn't try to be supersmall, and its specs aren't overly ambitious. In this case, you really do get what you pay for: a 3.2-megapixel digital camera, a VGA-resolution 30fps MPEG-4 camcorder, a 10X optical zoom, a swiveling 1.8-inch LCD monitor, and a selection of shooting modes that function much as you would expect with a full-size digital camera or camcorder.

| Now, with the introduction of the Optio MX, Pentax has gained a competitive edge in the portable digicam market by combining their tried-and-true digicam feature-set with the capabilities of a digital video camera. With a radical design that features a swivel-mounted handgrip, the MX has a maximum movie recording time of 120 continuous minutes, a 10x optical zoom lens, swivel LCD design, 3.2-megapixel CCD, and a host of creative and manual exposure features that make the camera versatile enough for just about any situation, and a look that will turn heads. |
