The Pentax model undercuts its rivals by a significant margin, but keeps a similar level of basic features – 7-megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and a svelte pocketable case. It's short on extras though and we found the text-based menus for many of the camera settings were less dynamic than those of its rivals. The quality of the photos it took defied its low price, though certain elements fell short of the rest, such as how close we could get with the macro. However, if money is tight we'd head for this over the Genius model any day – it may be twice the price but it's far better than twice the quality.
