  • Abstract:  Not slim, not sleek and the cream colour makes it look a little strange. However the important thing is image quality and here I have no complaints, in fact this ultra compact model has other features not always found with other small cameras....

  • Easy to use, 720p HD video, Not too expensive for an 18x zoom!
  • Picture quality could be better, especially from 800 ISO upwards, Lens quality isn't consistent, Poorquality sound in video mode, Tight screen viewing angles, Very plastic body
  • The Pentax Optio RZ18 is nothing out of the ordinary. It's an easy-to-use camera with a powerful zoom, but picture quality just isn't up to scratch. In this product category, we'd recommend the Olympus SZ-20 over this model, as even though its zoom isn...

  • 18x superzoom; versatility; good performance in low light; high detail,
  • Pet face detection is flawed; no aperture or shutter priority settings; poor build quality.
  • Overall, Pentax has come up with a good-sized point and shoot with superb super-zoom capabilities is a versatile all-rounder. The build quality, video recording and features are basic, but its core performance in both low light and with detail in gener...

  • Sharp images, Good colours
  • Some light spread on sharp contrasts, Poor choice of build materials
  • Ignore the low-tech case, the clicky buttons and the slightly grainy back screen and focus instead on the great results you can get from this mid-priced superzoom. The Pentax Optio RZ18 really is much better than its build quality suggests, and keenly ...

  • The Pentax Optio RZ18 is an appealing travel-zoom camera with a truly versatile 18x zoom lens, but it's unfortunately let down by average image quality, no-frills build quality and slow processing times.The RZ18 takes a similar approach to previous Pe...

  • The competition for mid-zoom cameras is hotting up, with most of the major manufacturers offering their own version. For its price, the RZ18 packs a versatile zoom lens and produces decent pictures. Video quality is good but there is no optical zoom a...

  • preiswert, angemessene Bildqualität, einfache Handhabung, ordentliche Videos, starker Zoom, hübsche Erscheinung
  • kein FullHD, kein optischer Zoom bei der Videoaufnahme
  • Die Pentax Optio RZ-18 ist eine gelungene Einsteiger-Digitalkamera mit einem extrastarken Zoom. Letzterer, aber auch die Bildqualität sind für den zugrunde gelegten Preis klar überdurchschnittlich. Somit ist das Gerät eine würdige Alternative zu den C...

  • Abstract:  Die Optio RZ18 von Pentax wurde für Anwender konzipiert, die eine kompakte Digitalkamera suchen, aber auf einen leistungsstarken optischen Zoom nicht verzichten möchten. In diesem Segment ist die Konkurrenz groß. Deshalb muss sich die Pentax Optio RZ18...

  • Die Pentax Optio RZ18 ist eine Kamera mit riesigem Brennweitenbereich, aber auch deutlichen Schwachstellen bei der Bildqualität. Angesichts der guten Ausstattung kann man trotzdem von einem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sprechen....

  • Simplicité d'utilisation, Vidéo HD 720p, Prix contenu pour un zoom 18x
  • Qualité d'image moyenne, en particulier passés 800 ISO, Objectif peu homogène, Prise de son médiocre, Angles de vision de l'écran étroits, Fabrication très plastique
  • Le RZ18 n'a rien d'extraordinaire : c'est un appareil simple à l'utilisation, doté d'un gros zoom. Malheureusement, la qualité des images ne suit pas... Dans cette gamme de produits, on lui préférera notamment l'Olympus SZ-20, avec moins de zoom mais u...
