Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio S12.
Like its predecessors the Optio S12 is a very well made and easy to use camera, with a nice simple design that continues to look good even five years after its initial launch. Although it lacks image stabilisation, it makes up for it with numerous other fun and useful features.
The Online Photographer has posted Part 4 (on low light AF) of its report on the Pentax K20D.
It wasn’t “so fast I didn’t notice.” But I’d describe it as “fast.” More important, it was positive. By that I mean that when I pressed the button halfway, the mechanism almost always made one direct move to focus, and stayed there.

Cnet has posted a review of the Pentax K200D.
Pentax’s K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year’s model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colors keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality.

PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the new 14.6 megapixel Pentax K20D.
Pentax have made some notable improvements with the K20D in terms of it’s responsiveness and ease-of-use, in particular offering much quicker file write times that really speed up using the camera. If you have a collection of Pentax lenses, you’ll love the new AF Adjustment custom function, which allows you to precisely calibrate each one to the K20D, and the Dust Alert feature shows you exactly where the dust is on the sensor. Studio photographers can now seriously consider the K20D because of the welcome addition of an X-sync socket, and the camera still offers dust and water-resistance and effective anti-shake and dust-removal systems.
