PENTAX has announced the launch of the PENTAX Optio P80. With a stylish and ultra-thin body, this new high-performance model features a host of advanced functions.
The Optio P80 has a whole host of advanced features, such as a 4X optical zoom, approximately 12 effective megapixels for incredible high-resolution images, and a large, easy-to-view 2.7-inch colour LCD monitor, all in a high-quality metallic shell. Even with this robust feature set, the Optio P80 has been designed to be extremely compact, with a body as thin as 16.5 millimetres in some sections.
This new digital compact camera also offers a variety of user-friendly features, including Vertical Snap to facilitate vertical-position shooting; a Smile Capture function to automatically release the shutter when it detects a subject's smile; and an Auto Picture mode to automatically select one of eight shooting modes for a given subject. The Optio P80 is further enhanced by triple anti-shake protection using Pentax exclusive in-camera software, High-Sensitivity Shake Reduction, and Movie Shake Reduction modes.
