Pentax Optio M20

Conclusion
The bottom line - This is one helluva camera. It’s light weight, and runs on normal AA pencil battery’s that can be found anywhere. The picture quality is great in all modes and I think its well worth the Rs. 14,490 you’d pay for it. With regards to other cameras in this range, the M20 fares quite well, so I’d recommend this digicam as a great option.

Now the Pentax Optio M20 is exclusively available on Tv18’s Homeshop 18 , to 'snap' with it, order one today.
