DigitalCameraReview.com has a review up of the new Pentax A10 digital camera. The Pentax camera is packed full of features in a very compact frame. The 8 megapixel camera touts a ton of features including a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism, a 2.5 inch LCD, and 3x optical zoom. Does the camera live up to the expectations?

The reviewer does a great job in testing the camera inside and out. He goes into a lot of detail about the cameras various functions and features. He notices that out of the box, the camera needs to be tweaked. The pictures are over-saturated and underexposed, thankfully, with the camera's advanced settings you can fix these issues. Overall, the camera is great for point and shooting, but the battery life is not up to par with other cameras in the category and the settings need to be tweaked for optimal picture quality.

The Ricoh GR 8.1 megapixel camera is a supremely well crafted machine. The Register and Pocket Lint did a great job reviewing the camera. Missing nothing but a view finder (that no one uses on digital cameras anyway) it is worth every penny. Coming in at around £400, it isn't all that cheap, but considering the features and 8.1mp capability it's well worth it.

The camera features a standard menu that allows fast and easy setup of the camera's various features. You can change the usual features as well as advanced features such as color depth, sharpness, and contrast and save them as custom settings. The camera has 26mb on-board storage and MMC/SD slot readers. The 26mb is definitely not sufficient and an add-on card will obviously be needed if you want to take more than a few pictures.

The review does a great job in covering all of the features and explaining them in detail. It also explains who would use the camera and why, which is something that any buyer would want to know. Overall, the camera and review are fantastic and not just another in the pile.
