Pentax Optio S50
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 PM
"Pentax has today announced the third addition to the S range in five months with the 5 megapixel Optio S50. Aimed at newcomers to digital photography, it has a nine-option control dial plus a help mode that displays explanations of the control buttons. It has a 1.8-inch LCD screen - which is larger than the S40 (1.6-inch) - but retains the same compact dimensions. Pentax’s proprietary sliding lens system also helps keep things compact. The Optio S50 has a digital filter function that can be applied in-camera during playback and allows users to convert images to black and white, while retaining red, blue or green areas."
A nice entry level camera for those interested in investing in one. It will be available in October and should cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $370.
