Pentax's new ultracompacts for PMA

Damian Koh | Feb 22, 2007

The two Optios announced today are basically extensions of the current lineup with the Optio A30 (pictured) sporting CCD shift-type image stabilization, a 10-megapixel image sensor and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 1,600. Underwater snapshooters have the Optio W30, which can dive up to 3m depths for 120 minutes, to look forward to--a marked improvement over the Optio W20's 1.5m for 30 minutes.

Pentax also announced two new KAF2 lenses--Pentax DA* 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL[IF]SDM wide-angle zoom and the smc Pentax DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED [IF]SDM telephoto zoom--which feature weather- and dust-resistant properties for use in rugged conditions. These lenses will be showcased at the annual PMA show from March 8.
