The A800 was announced 12 months later than the I-10 and they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the A800 matches up against the I-10 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot A800 and Pentax Optio I-10. The whole galleries are provided at Canon A800 Gallery and Pentax I-10 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera often, you have to think about its weight and measurements.

Normally, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the A800 and I-10.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Pentax I-10 to result in greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer A800 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
