A new review of the Pentax Optio T30 has been released, with the camera’s three inch touch screen being highlighted.

The camera also has a number of features over its sister model, the Pentax Optio M30, including better metering and a range of different modes.

In a review for Imaging Resource, the camera is cited as a good example of a tool that has been reduced to its bare essentials.

It has all the features that the user might need, but without any complex extras.

Pentax’s young offering provides the user with both automatic and manual settings, as well as what the firm calls a Digital SR mode.

The Pentax Optio T30 is a “pretty friendly companion wherever you take it” and is small enough to be taken anywhere, the review states.

With a simple design and aluminium alloy body, the functionality of the camera is immediately visible, the review states.

Overall, however, the image quality of the camera is not as good as other models offering 7.1 megapixels, although its attractiveness and compact size may make it an appealing option.
