The Pentax Optio Z10 is a slimline 8.0 megapixel camera with a non-protruding 7x zoom lens giving it a range of 38-266mm (35mm equiv.). The Pentax Optio Z10 is designed with a refraction lens system so the lens never protrudes from the camera while zooming. DigitalCameraInfo.com just posted their review of the Z10 and had this to say about it-

"The Pentax Optio Z10 packs a lot of seemingly great features into a small body. It has 8.1 megapixels and a 7x optical zoom lens that goes beyond the typical 3-4x zoom offered on most slim digital cameras. It also has a decently-sized 2.5-inch LCD screen with 230,000 pixels. Add in a generous 52 MB of internal memory and there are some very tempting components on the Z10.
…
The Optio Z10 has a $249 price tag that isn’t terribly out of line, but there’s more and better competition in this price range especially when the Z10’s performance is taken into account. With less than ideal dynamic range and more noise than is tolerable (above ISO 200), the Pentax Optio Z10 is a hard sell for any photographer."
