Editorial note

The Pentax Optio H90 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 12.1 MP sensor that allows for capturing every detail with precision. Its built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even in motion, while the various scene modes make shooting in different situations easier. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design of 114 g makes it a practical choice for everyday use. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards, where many devices offer Full HD or even 4K options. Furthermore, the lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems limits its use for some users. The internal memory of 32.7 MB is relatively low, requiring external memory cards to store a significant number of photos. In terms of performance, the product scores 78, highlighting its image quality while noting the limitations of the video. The nickel-metal hybrid battery offers good autonomy with a score of 80, although the capacity of a single battery may restrict its prolonged use. With a score of 75 for value for money, the Pentax Optio H90 offers interesting features, but the need to use external memory cards and the limited internal memory may be points to consider. In summary, the Pentax Optio H90 is a compact camera offering good image quality and practical features, but it has limitations that may not suit all users.
