Pentax Optio V20

Pentax has just rolled out its Optio V20, a good half year after the V10 was unveiled. Some of the features found on the Optio V20 include :-

• 8.0 megapixel CCD sensor
• 5x optical zoom
• 3″ LCD display with 170-degree viewing angle
• Evolved Face Recognition includes “Smile Capture” mode
• Digital Shake Reduction
• Panorama mode

The Pentax Optio V20 will hit Japan next month for a measly $288. This is but another vanilla point and shoot digital camera, so if you’re into casual photography and don’t plan to take a more serious approach, then the Optio V20 sounds like a fine choice.
