Pros:
Interesting features, user-configurable button, broad ISO range. |
 |
Cons:
Tends towards overexposure, narrow f-stop range. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
 |
| Pentax has given their Optio M50 a few nifty abilities, but the image-quality isn't as spectacular, and the camera is hampered by consistently shallow depth-of-field. Gadget-lovers may love the M50's innovative features, but those who just want to take pictures could easily find a more dependable camera. |
