Pentax Optio E90 Digital Compact Camera Review - 10 Reasons Why You Should Get the E90 Camera
Pentax are a well known photography brand so when they release the Pentax Optio e90 digital camera for such a low price I decided that I had to get it not only to try it but to see if they totally messed up this camera, however I'm glad to say that in my opinion they haven't and below I will list the 10 top reasons to why you should get this camera right away.
1.
Great wide angle lens.
The pentax e90 has a minimum focal distance of 31mm, this may not sound like anything to you, and however this means that you can get some pretty wide shots of scenery or even close ups of people, there is also another function that helps taking landscape photos but I will discuss this in another point.
2.
Easy to use, even if you have never used a camera before.
Unlike many digital cameras the pentax Optio allows you to take it out of your pocket, shoot a few pictures and then put it back in.
No fuss.
Simply point, shoot and put away.
3.
Cheap, I mean come on where else will you get a brand name camera which works so well for such a small price, and when I say cheap I don't mean nasty, I simply mean affordable.
4.
Quick autofocus.
More and more cameras these days are increasing megapixel count or adding HD video to them, while this may be great they seem to forget that the main reason for having a camera is to take clear pictures, this is where the focus comes in.
The auto focus for this camera is very quick which was surprising.
5.
Good battery life.
Now I'm not sure of the exact amount of time the batteries last because I simply haven't timed it, however I have constantly used this camera and they battery hasn't run out on me yet.
6.
Good grip.
Although the camera is weirdly shaped it is covered by a thick rubbery material which makes holding onto the camera really easily.
7.
No fiddly parts.
You won't need to fiddle with the camera when you are ready to upload the pictures, simply attach 1 lead and you're ready to go.
8.
Ready to go at all times.
Some cameras take a while to load up which in some cases may make you miss that special memory for ever.
The Pentax Optio e90 doesn't mess around, as soon as you turn it on it is ready for action.
9.
Panorama mode.
Remember earlier in the article where I said about taking stunning landscape pictures? Well combine the wide angle lens with the panorama mode which lets you take 3 separate images and stitch them together resulting in one amazing image.
10.
Green mode for beginners.
If you have never used a camera before then you don't need to worry about shutter speeds, aperture, white balance or ISO simply because the automatic mode will do all of this for you, giving you a correct exposure each and every time.
