With the launch if the Pentax I-10 Digital Camera, the world of photography was supposed to be given a compact, yet a well featured camera. However, it turns out that, ins pite of being compact and sleek, the Pentax I-10 failed to deliver what was expected of it in terms of quality and functions.

As Pentax launched its all new I-10 digital camera, the company might have expected the device to immediately attract consumers with its retro style finish and the functions of a modern digital camera, all rolled into one. But, it turns out that, while concentrating on the old school look of the camera, Pentax somehow deviated from the its original goal of providing a feature packed camera. The I-10 delivers a pretty satisfactory image quality with the help of its average quality photo lens, which is also the cause of concern, because it doesn’t work that well at long ranges and tends to take grainy shots.

A second problem with the I-10 is that, this camera provides the option of digital filter only after the shot has been taken and not during the shooting. Furthermore, the device is also known have a pretty inaccurate auto focus function in low light. However, there are a few things, that the consumers might like about the Pentax I-10 digital camera. The retro type finish of the camera makes you look classy and the device is also capable of quite efficient face and smile detection. Also, Pentax has provided some very interesting in-camera editing options and the camera comes with a thorough manual, to understand each and every function of its. However, the price tag of $299 for such an average digital camera is just too high a price to ask.
