kevin bolt's Review of Aiptek Pentax Optio 50
10th Jun 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Picture quality is superb
Bad Points
Poor battery life
General Comments
Beware of the Aiptek Pentax Optio 50 - battery life is non existent even when the camera is switched off a full set of batteries (mAh2500) will discharge completely over night. You can only get 30 or 40 photo's out of a set of batteries in a day in normal conditions. Pentax tell me that they have 'tested to specification' my camera so this would appear to be standard performance for the camera.

Must endorse the above. The Aiptek Pentax Optio 50 is not a bad camera otherwise, but battery life is unbelievably bad. Even brand new, fully-charged 2700mAh NiMH's only last about 25 - 30 shots. Compact size is no advantage if your camera requires twice its own weight in batteries for a days shooting!
