Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Featuring 12 megapixels, the compact and stylish Optio A40 offers three types of Shake Reduction including mechanical, digital and movie. Each version helps deliver sharp, blur-free shots where camera shake is an issue such as action photography or in low light conditions at dawn, dusk or at night. This Optio also features the newest Face Recognition technology including a Natural Skin Tone mode and a Half-length Portrait mode, which automatically takes a head and shoulder photograph of subjects.

4 out of 5 stars Pentax Optio A40   December 14, 2008

This pocket camera does everything I desire and more. It is small, the small dimensions is the reason I bought it, takes very good pictures and it's easy to use. It has as a bonus a sleek body.
Particularly like the shake reduction mode that increases the chances of a good clear photo.
This is my second digital Pentax Optio camera, after the optio 5i, which still works very well after 3 years. I followed up wwith the A40.
I do miss the panaroma mode, that stiches photos together, that the 5i had, but I have no complaints. I highly recommend it



4 out of 5 stars Pentax Optio A 40 observations   July 8, 2008
  7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I've had the camera for about 3 months now, and overall it's been great. I particularly love the 'double flower' mode that gets me to the short hair.

I take some pictures of small machinery, like phone parts, and electronic gadgets, and the double flower mode gets me in there just fine.

On the down side, i find that occasionally, the focus seems to be just bad. I think i am not giving it enuf time to think, but even when i give it time, it just blows the focus entirely. Since i have lots of memory (4 gigs), my answer to this is simply to take multiple shots of the same item.

Battery time tween charges seems a bit short, but not impossible. I charge on average every 3- 4 days with about 30 pix a day.

I am still failing to get the movies to show on my puter. Something about
DV... mode. Irfanview won't deal. Also, a movie intered into the flash card months ago will not purge when i delete pix, so every time i upload, i have to upload THAT movie, even tho i cleared the memory umpteen times.

4 out of 5 stars Small camera, big features   June 2, 2008
  12 out of 13 found this review helpful

I was looking for a small camera with a lot of features.
What I like:
12 MP, 3 systems of shake reduction, High Dynamic Range, manual focus in almost all modes (you can record a movie in macro, super macro, manual focus, excellent!), ISO range (you can decide a maximun auto ISO), document photos are very clear (I like negative mode to take pictures of my 35mm negatives films), fast focus mode, big movies with a small size.
What I don't like:
Big problem - you can disable Face Priority in Auto mode, this causes the camera found "ghost faces" in what are you focus (my camera found 5 faces when I was taking a picture to a TV remote control). This also causes the camera fires red eye reduction flash (when is not necessary) and the battery runs low too fast. You can not change the zoom in movie mode(while recording). You can record more than 2 hours in HQ but the battery only give 1 hour of life.

I ask people from Pentax to give the posibility to disable Face Pripority in auto mode in the next firmware (please, please!!!).



5 out of 5 stars Great little camera   June 2, 2008

Got the camera for my wife to replace one that broke. She doesn't go anywhere without it, is always snapping pix. Not an SLR or anything professional, but great quality for its size, great for all-around picture taking.
