Pentax Optio MX4 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 5.20 (out of 10)
With the megapixel rush subsiding, camera manufacturers have to come up with more ingenious ways of getting us to upgrade our cameras. Pentax seems to think that one such way is to produce a digital camera whose form factor is more like an 8mm camcorder than you standard point and click. Offering 4 megapixels, a 10x optical zoom and numerous scene selection modes the end result morphs digital camera with camcorder. But are the results worth the investment or it is merely just another gimmick to get us to part with our money.

| You may not want to try and take the pistol-grip, raygun-shaped Pentax Optio MX4 through airport security. But otherwise it's a passable, inexpensive 4MP superzoom still camera, and quite a good still/video hybrid as well. If you're looking primarily for a superzoom that shoots great stills, you can do much better, but if you want one camera that's also suitable for shooting a lot of video, the MX4 is well worth considering. |
