Pentax Optio L40

The Pentax Optio L40 is a really amazing camera with great features, especially for it's size. Even compared to my very large cannon, it takes great quality pictures. The 8Mp camera is top quality, even though it isn't a huge number it still takes very good quality pictures. The camera is very light and easy to hold and handle. It takes SD cards so you can easily transfer pictures to your computer if it has a card reader, or by USB cable if it doesn't. The battery life is very reasonable and it does not take a long time to fully charge with the included battery charger. The camera has many extra features, one of the ones I find amazing is ...  Read the complete review

The Pentax Optio L40 at a first glance is slim (only 18mm) and stylish with a sleek silver finish. The camera is unbelieveably easy to use, once purcased and charged all it takes is the press of one button to take a clear impressive photograph!

I've also made good use of the movie function and now have 3 memory cards for it (standard SD which makes it compatible with self-service print kiosks and laptops etc).

I had been looking for a digital camera for a long time and after time spent searching i chose this one. The camera is really good and easy to use. The zoom is easy and simple. However I think that the camera mat benefit from having a slightly larger screen. I also think that some of the buttons were quite small and it makes it quite difficult to navigate through some of the menus. I also found that the setup was easy to do and the instructions were very clear but most of the instruction book semmed to be in a different language! there were also somused the useful accessories with the camera such as a wrist strap which is useful in helping to keep the camera close. ...  Read the complete review
