Pentax Optio M50 Reviews
InfoSync reviews the Pentax Optio M50 and writes;
“First and foremost, the Optio M50 has excellent noise-management. In this department the camera rivals even the Nikon point-and-shoots we’ve seen, and coupled with its tremendous ISO range, this makes the M50 a great choice for low-light shooting.”
