The reviewer over at Photography Blog ends up giving the Optio RZ18 a “Above Average” rating with an overall score of 3.5 out of 5 possible stars. The Pentax camera scores highest on value for your money, a little lower on ease of use and features, while it scores lowest on image quality and design. This Optio camera comes with a pretty low price tag, but the average image quality and long processing times hinders it from getting a top score.
