Quick Take: The Optio M10 is Pentax's budget-priced point-and-shoot digital camera. Its features are all standard for a snapshot camera, including a 6-megapixel sensor, a 3X optical zoom lens, a 2.5-inch LCD screen, a 30fps VGA movie mode, and multiple image-capture presets. It doesn't have any major gimmicks, but it seems aptly equipped for a budget snapshot camera. The Pentax Optio M10 won't turn many heads, but neither will its $230 suggested price tag break many wallets when it ships in March.

Summary: The M10 is a camera I was initially unsure of, but while I've had it for review it's grown on me, and I can definitely say it's a good choice of camera for novices - it has the specification you'd expect and the right level of freedom. More ...
