Digital camera reviews of Pentax Optio WS80 10MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Internal Optical Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Black and Orange)
Digital camera Review: A good camera with every feature except the Picture Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this camera from Amazon 2 days back. I took several photos in different light conditions and compared with another Nikon Camera coolpix camera, which I own since last 3 years.
Every Feature thing in this camera is very very good.
Except one thing; the Picture Quality.
1. I recommend this camera if you want to view the Photo on a laptop or <=17 inch monitor.
2. Picture Quality is not good. Its contains grainy picture.
Step 1: Take a picture in good sun light condition.
Step 2: Its looks very good on camera screen
Step 3. Transfer the picture to a computer having above screen size.
Step 4: Open the picture in computer to view. Adjust the picutre to fit in your scree size.
Step 5: Upto this, you can view and say that picture quality is good ( still if you are experience photographer, you can feel that picture is not crystal clear)
Step 6: Now comes the actual scenario.
Step 7. Direct your picture browser to display the image in its real Size. You will see the grainy i.e. Picture is not clear.
What does it means that even if you take a picture at 10MP and go to print for a large size, your print will either not be cyspy or even not clear, inspite the fact that you had taken the picture with 10MP.
Now its you to decide weather to go or not, but keep the price in mind and then decide.
I had Nikon coolpix, probably L6, which has only 5MP , but take brilliant photo. I am satisfied with that Camera.
