CES 09: Pentax Launches Two Digital Cameras

Pentax has announced two colorful, compact digital cameras - the Optio P70 and Optio E70.

The 12 megapixel P70 has a 4X optical zoom, a wide angle 28mm lens and a 2.7-inch high-resolution, wide-angle view LCD panel.

The Optio P70 features new Pixel Track Shake Reduction technology and offers Advanced Face Recognition that can track up to 32 faces in 0.03 seconds, Smile Capture that automatically releases the shutter when subjects smile and Blink Detection to alert the users if the subject’s eyes are closed.

Digital Shake Reduction sets the sensitivity up to ISO 6400 to prevent subject blur, HD movie captures video in widescreen 720p at 15 FPS, and a Vertical Snap mode allows image capture with the ease of a cell phone camera.

The latest model in the E series - the Optio E70 - is designed for new digital users. The E70 has a 10 megapixel CCD, a 3X wide zoom lens, a 2.4-inch color LCD monitor and features Pixel Track Shake Reduction technology, Advanced Face Recognition (32 faces in 0.03 seconds), Smile Capture and Blink Detection. Pentax Auto Picture mode automatically selects from seven shooting modes for the best picture in any situation.

The Optio E70 is compatible with AA batteries and will be available in champagne gold, deep blue and red for $139.95.

Both cameras will ship in February 2009.
