Comments on: New Pentax Optio cameras fully leaked http://photorumors.com/2010/01/25/new-pentax-optio-cameras-fully-leaked/ Photography news, before it happens Wed, 23 May 2012 09:40:11 +0000 hourly 1 By: Robert http://photorumors.com/2010/01/25/new-pentax-optio-cameras-fully-leaked/comment-page-1/#comment-5643 Robert Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:54:18 +0000 http://photorumors.com/?p=3094#comment-5643 OK, it appears it <i>doesn't</i> have the electronic viewfinder, as I had hoped. (If it did, the press releases would be mentioning it.) Well, that just about kills my interest in this model, but I suppose the retro look will be enough for most. And seriously, I don't begrudge Pentax (OK, Hoya) any $$ they make with it. It's just not for me. OK, it appears it doesn’t have the electronic viewfinder, as I had hoped.

If this compact camera looks like the Auto 110 and is called I-10, it has nothing to do with marketing and all with stabilizing system design.

It's the slow lens that it looks like it has that is going to let it down. SR,... maybe the reason for the body design is only to house a proper stabilizing system rather than actually doing anything too out of the ordinary.

This is also something in general camera firm need to stop doing, "retro" styling new cameras, it just plain sucks, if they cant find a new idea they probably shouldnt bloody well make the camera its not “retro styling” its just a direct copy of the old pentax 110 camera.

So does it have an electronic viewfinder, or are you stuck with the tiresome old "hold it out at arm's length" rain dance? Nice retro styling on the I-10.
