REVIEWS / POINT AND SHOOT / PENTAX

Pentax Optio E30

13 Jun, 2007, 2:00 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Point and Shoot

Sports mode is great too if you need to get those quick pics of some awesome car or bike you may see zipping by. I didn’t see any but I did get a truck zipping by though.

Close-ups are great. You can use the flower mode or even Macro. The colors are crisp and clear. The focus is good and you can see the detail. It does lack the really close close-up feel to get in really close to the object, but the outcome nevertheless is still good.

Normal daytime shots are good, not great. But like I said, this isn't a high-end camera. The colors don't appear faded and you can't really make out any pin-cushioning.

Now in case you want to make a few adjustments or alterations to your existing images simply select the image and you have a few options there too. These include resizing, cropping, rotation, adding a voice memo and even protecting the image so you wont delete it by mistake. The E30 also gives you an option of viewing all the images on the camera in a slideshow.

If you set the camera right i.e. without the opening screen etc. the start up is quick. The timing between shots is negligible so you know the E30 is fast.
