Editors' Comments

The Pentax Optio V20 is an ultra-slim compact digital with a robust feature set aimed directly at the casual snapshot shooter. Features include an 8.0-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, and a 3-inch LCD monitor. The camera also features advanced face detection, a smile detection mode that shoots automatically when the subject smiles, and blink detection, which reports if a subject closed his or her eyes during a shot. The V20's intelligent autofocus adjusts automatically as you track an object, making it even easier to get a good shot. This is a camera ideal for a beginning or casual photographer for whom space is at a premium.
