A Week with...

Today we provide the first of many installments of hands-on camera reviews, A Week With..., where Photowonk will spend a week putting a current digital camera model through its paces. Hopefully, we'll provide something different than just the standard, anal-retentive camera review we all know and love. What makes one camera great and another suck goes well beyond just resolution and zoom, and often has more to do with the experience of using it. Are the various settings where you would expect them to be? Is it too light/heavy? What about the software that comes in the box? Was it worth the amount you paid for it?

And so, Photowonk starts A Week with the Pentax Optio T10. Here are the basics:



- 6.0 Megapixels
- 3x Optical Zoom
- 3.0" LCD display

What sets this camera apart from a lot of the other compact, 6MP cameras is that 3.0" LCD doubles as a touch display, thereby eliminating almost all of the buttons from camera body itself. Will this feature make the T10 a winner, or will not having dedicated buttons for specific features (like my beloved Canon Powershot SD450) make every little setting a pain in the butt? Stay tuned...
