Pentax Optio M30 Details
Editors' Comments
The super small Pentax Optio M30 is only 18mm thick, with a sleek aluminum body that is a pleasure to handle. The M30 features an 'auto-picture' mode that tries to automatically ascertain the right camera settings for whatever environment you are in, allowing the photographer to not worry about a myriad of confusing adjustments. It also has face-recognition focus and exposure, which keeps your subject's faces clear and crisp, all by itself.
