Pentax Optio E30 Details
Editors' Comments
The Pentax Optio E30 is an all-new entry-level ultracompact that claims to be a snap, but consumers who have been burned by the 'E' series before may feel differently. The E30 is related to the Pentax Optio E10, a camera that was so widely and vehemently denounced by our readers, we decided to name it the worst digital camera ever. On paper, the E30 looks like a fairly standard budget camera, but we at DCHQ can't in good faith recommend this camera, as Pentax has demonstrated a clear lack of quality control in their budget and entry-level models.
Pentax E30 Specifications
- 7 megapixels, 3x optical zoom / 4x digital zoom, auto focus and exposure, ISO 80-400, JPEG file format, movie mode with sound, 2.4" LCD display, Secure Digital storage (11MB internal), 2 AA batteries
