Editorial note

The Pentax Optio T30 stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 7.1 MP CCD sensor, allowing for precise capture of every detail. Its 4x digital zoom and a focal length of 6.2 to 18.6 mm offer appreciated flexibility for photographing subjects both close up and from a distance. Additionally, the camera integrates various scene modes suited to different environments, thus facilitating the optimization of shots based on lighting conditions and the subject. However, some drawbacks deserve mention. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, limiting the quality of video recordings. Furthermore, the internal memory of 20 MB may prove insufficient for storing multiple photos or videos, making the use of memory cards necessary. Although the CCD sensor provides acceptable image quality, it may perform less well in low-light conditions compared to modern CMOS sensors. The lack of advanced connectivity features, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, also limits sharing options. Finally, manual focus, while precise, may not suit all users, especially those seeking a more intuitive use. Overall, the Pentax Optio T30 offers good value for money, with interesting features for an entry-level camera. Its modern and sleek design, combined with a lightweight of 120 g, makes it practical for everyday use. However, users should be aware of its limitations, particularly regarding memory and connectivity.
