Pentax Digital Cameras

While perhaps not one of the first brands to come to mind when thinking of top of the line cameras, Pentax digital cameras actually have a lot to offer consumers in quality and options. In fact, Pentax is a major name in SLR cameras, and the latest Pentax digital SLR cameras are nothing to balk at. These tools are of the highest quality and produce excellent results.

The Pentax digital camera line starts with the Pentax Optio digital camera. As with most cameras, you’ll find several models and price options within this line. The Optio W30 version would probably be considered the “base” model of this line, with a 2.5 inch LCD screen and 7.1 megapixel resolution. Of course, these specs combined with a total 12x zoom capability is not too shabby for the low end model. The Optio T30 upgrades to a 3.0 inch LCD screen, and while the A30 drops back to only 2.5 inches, it ups the zoom capability to an overall 16.2x and advances the resolution to 10 megapixels.

In the family of digital cameras, Pentax also offers several SLR style cameras. The K models are perhaps the line that receives the best Pentax digital camera reviews, with the SLR K10D being the absolute top of the line. It has a shutter speed adjustable up to ISO1600, a 2.5 inch LCD screen, and an amazing 10.2 megapixel resolution so that you can take any picture and blow it up to poster size without worrying about pixellation problems. This Pentax digital SLR camera can’t be beat, though the best prices on Pentax digital cameras will be found on lower end models.

According to one Pentax digital camera review, you won’t find a better waterproof model than the Pentax waterproof digital camera, quality sealed for great depths of 30+ feet. Few other models are watertight to such incredible depths.

One of the major advantages to this camera brand is that the Pentax digital camera battery is either a rechargeable battery pack that can last for several hours without worry and can charge via a car charger or a standard AC adapter or a lithium ion battery that is good for much longer than the standard AA alkaline batteries used by many cameras. That means there is not as much drain, and when you look at the prices of additional backup batteries or replacements, you’ll find that they are quite reasonable and cost effective.
