The Pentax Optio E10 is one of the cheapest six megapixel digital cameras you will find. It is very easy to use and the build quality of the camera is also good considering its price. Unfortunately the camera is let down by the all important quality of its pictures.

The Pentax Optio E10 is a budget 6 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens and a fairly large 2.4” TFT screen. The camera’s price makes the camera appear to be a bargain, but the camera has far too many problems for it to be recommended. Speed in use, high noise, poor picture quality, poor video mode, and poor screen quality are just some of the cameras flaws. This camera’s most irritating flaws are the speed at which the camera operates, and the very poor success rate focusing indoors – these flaws are something digital cameras from several years ago were guilty of, and in 2006 is simply unnacceptable.
