The Pentax A10 is a compact digital camera with an 8.0 effective Megapixel CCD, which combines a slim, lightweight, stylish design with a new proprietary Shake Reduction system for sharper quality images. The Pentax Optio A10 is equipped with a new large 1/1.8-inch CCD boasting 8.32 total Megapixels.

 Pentax A10 camera - Responsiveness
According to Steve Digicams: "Shooting performance was sluggish for a camera in this class. Power up to first image captured measured approx. 3.6 seconds. Shutter lag when pre-focused was approx. 1/10 of a second, slowing to a staggering 1.1 seconds including auto focus time. The shot to shot time in normal, single exposure mode averaged about 3.5 seconds without flash, and approx. 3.8 - 5 seconds with flash, depending on subject distance. When shooting in Continuous mode, I was able to capture 4 images in about 6.2 seconds."
Pentax Optio A10 review conclusion - Steves Digicams
Steve continues: "Our sample images showed good overall exposure, thanks to its accurate exposure and metering systems. Colors were nicely saturated, and for the most part, images were sharp. Although, I did however, notice some edge softness around several of our photos. Pentax's Shake Reduction technology worked well on this model, I was able to capture a shot of our dog being lazy, at a shutter speed of 1/8 of a second. While the image is not tach sharp, it is by all means usable for 4x6-inch or larger prints." You want to learn more about the Pentax Optio digital camera?
