Pentax has announced two new compact digital cameras. The Pentax Optio T30 is one of the thinnest digital cameras featuring a three inch LCD monitor. In addition, the Optio T30 features a touch display with a wide field of view for fun image capture and editing.

This latest Optio also offers new functions such as Face Recognition Auto Focus and Auto Exposure to assure properly exposed portraits and a high ISO Digital Shake Reduction mode. In addition, the touch panel allows image customization with the drawing functions while a unique Mode Pallete includes Auto Picture mode to access camera settings.


Pentax also announced the latest model in the Optio M series. Sporting an ultra-slim body with a fresh, textured design, the affordable Optio M30 features Digital Shake Reduction, Face Recognition AF and AE, and an Auto-Macro function that enables close-up photography up to two inches in Super Macro mode and less than four inches in Auto Macro mode.

Both cameras will be available in March. The Pentax Optio T30 price will be US $349.95 and the Optio M30 will be US $199.95.
