Pentax has announced the Pentax Optio A40, featuring a 12-megapixel sensor, triple shake reduction (mechanical, digital and movie) and face recognition. The latter includes a natural skin mode and a half-length portrait mode, which automatically takes a head and shoulder photograph of subjects. The Optio A40 also sports a 2.5-inch LCD display and a 3x optical zoom lens. In addition, the camera supports MPEG-4 DivX movie captures at 30 fps, with anti-shake and editing functions. The Pentax Optio A40 measures 3.6 by 2.2 by 0.9 inches and weighs in at 4.6 oz.
Look for the A40 to roll out first sometime this month for $300, with the V10 set to follow in November for $250. If that's all a little too low end for you, you can also look forward to Pentax's just-announced DA 18-250mm F3.5-6.3ED AL [IF] high-performance zoom lens, which is designed specifically for its DSLR cameras, and boasts an approximate zoom ratio of 14x, among other top end specs. Look for it to land later this month for just under $500.
