THIS THING ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-09

I got this like a month ago and it is the greatest f-in thing eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is sooooooooooo kool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A solid, well rounded camera.......2007-03-17

The Optio T10 is a great little camera.

The camera sports an aluminum alloy body (the door to the battery compartment is plastic), making it durable yet light weight. The camera comes with a wrist-strap, but you may want to pick up a carrying case or belt-clip for it.

The large LCD display has an intuitive interface. Although a stylus is included for navigating the touch screen menu, it is easy to use with just your fingers. The upper-portion of the touch screen is not as sensitive as the rest of the screen, and you will need to push a little harder up there.

The lack of a view finder is awkward on bright sunny days; however, it is still possible to see the major elements of your shot (and the picture still comes out great). Although there are instances where the view finder would come in handy, I prefer having the larger display.

The Li-Ion rechargeable battery (battery and charger included) has a good life span, and it is easy to swap in and out. I was able to take photos of the family for three days, at three different theme parks, before needing a fresh battery. I recommend buying a second battery so you're not caught short-handed.

As with most digital cameras, be sure to invest in a memory card. Fortunately, the Pentax T10 uses SD cards (which are less expensive than the XD alternative). A 2GB card allowed me to store around 1,200 images (or about a half-hour of video).

The Pentax T10 takes great pictures, is easy to carry, and even easier to use. I am very pleased with this camera, and I recommend it for anyone who wants to take pictures on vacations or at parties.

This is a great camera to fool around with. The zoom is excellent, the screen is masasive, and it has many features that are nice to have but you'll never use since you forget they are there. One feature I do use is the red eye remover, Its cool to be able to actually do that on the camera rather than have to do it on the computer. My only complaint is that some pictures look great on the screen and then you snap the picture, and they are incredibly blurry

Nice idea - several drawbacks.......2006-07-12

I was looking for a camera that would let me make annotations on the photo while in camera and there were two choices - Sony's N1 and Pentax T10. The sony is about $100 more. The Pentax suffers from short battery life (note the touch, 3" screen and the temptation to edit in camera).

The focus problem is more serious. It takes 2 sec to focus and shoot. This is not good considering today's cameras. Shots are missed and frustration builds. I'm turning off the auto focus for regular family photos but will still use it for other shots where quickness is not important.

All in all, I would have to give serious consideration to spending $100 more for the Sony. My first T10 had a defective touch screen - if you get the camera, check this out completely - this is the primary feature of the camera. The upper left 20% of the screen required very heavy pressure to register imput. The screen will be hard to see in bright sun.

On the plus side - It is small, has a quality feel to it, and the drawing function works well.

I purchased this camera in early June 2006... a month later, I'm very happy with it. This is my first digital camera -- I had been waiting for prices to come down and features to improve. All of the buttons and knobs on traditional cameras seemed overwhelming to me -- hence my appreciation of this camera. There are two buttons on the back - one to review pictures you've taken (titled "play") and one to pull up menus (titled "menu"). I also bought the wireless remote control (model "E") as well as a generic AC adapter ("Digital Concepts 4.5V AC Adaptor") from Amazon. Both have performed well though I think the wireless remote control was a waste of money -- it's only for taking pictures of yourself, vs. I was hoping it would work with the slideshow feature when plugged into the TV. I also purchased a fast 1 GB SD ("Sandisk SDSDPH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II SD Plus USB") card from Amazon and seem to have tons of capacity for pictures and video... and I'm not experiencing the slow performance issue that others have referenced.

The slide show feature is great - it comes with cables to plug into your TV or VCR and within seconds there's a menu on your TV for an auto or manual slide show.

The LCD screen is big and clear -- and bright in all but the brightest of outdoor situations. I bought some anti-scratch plastic overlays on ebay to protect the screen.

The camera also includes a bunch of special effects and editing functions, such as making pictures brighter or adding clip art, etc. Only complaint is that after you modify a picture, the camera goes back to the end of all pictures you have stored, vs back to that specific picture, so you have to scroll backward again... but not a big deal.

I had no trouble uploading pictures to my computer, and was also impressed at the video capabilities... with my SD card I have about 15-20 mins of video recording time at the higher quality setting.

Camera is also a good size - fits in your palm or pocket nicely without being too small to hold. Good sound effects too -- you can set the camera so it makes a "meow" when you take a picture. There's also a customizable startup screen so you can take a picture of a business card and have it display when you first turn on the camera -- just in case you lose the camera and it is found by an honest soul.

Touch screen was my #1 reason for buying this camera. I researched the only other touchscreen model on the market, made by Sony, but reviews of that one were lukewarm and this camera is brand new on the market, so new reviews...so I took a chance and am very happy I did.

Everyone who sees it is curious about the touchscreen and falls in love immediately... and within seconds they are taking pictures with it and marveling and its intuitive user interface. In 2 years I bet they'll all be like this.

Only drawback would be there's no viewfinder, so you look at the big LCD screen to take a picture...since I was used to a viewfinder on my 35mm I thought this might be an issue, but it's not... I don't even miss it.

Great camera, EASY to use, highly recommended!!!
