Pentax Optio A20

Zitat: It´s rare to find manual focus and exposure in such a compact, affordable camera.

Zitat: Pentax´ 10-Megapixler hat gute Ansätze, aber auch einige Macken bei der Bildqualität. Vor allem das starke Rauschen dämpft die Freude an der ansonsten guten Kamera. Die Ausstattung ist der Leistungsklasse nicht angemessen - hier bietet die Konkurrenz mehr

Zitat: Good resolution, natural accurate color, subtle processing Subtle noise reduction holds onto detail higher up the ISO scale Excellent all-metal construction Good white balance Good flash performance Very compact Shake Reduction Useful ´green button´ offers good degree of interface customization Decent macro mode DivX movie mode very space-efficient (see below, however) Lots of ´fun´ features Image corrections and effects in playback mode Shutter priority and Manual exposure modes (see below, however) Cool ´focus tracking´ mode Slow focus Fairly high shutter lag Slow flash recycling Shake Reduction not as reliable as some competitors Noise visible even at ISO 64, especially in low light, very noisy at higher ISOs (see above, however) Images a little soft - and not that clean - if you look too close Screen impossible to see in bright light, no optical viewfinder Using manual exposure controls fiddly and over-complicated Slightly higher than average number of exposure and focus errors Highlight clipping in bright conditions (not as bad as some, but worse than the A10) Mediocre battery life No preview or review in burst mode Movies over-compressed with visible artefacts and slight jerkiness Face detection not as fast or effective as Canon / Fuji´s hardware systems
