10-megapixel compact camera Pentax Optio E60 Announced

Pentax is offering yet another casual point-and-shoot device - the Optio E60 compact digital camera. Features of the E60 include :-

• 10.1 megapixels CMOS sensor
• Optical 3X zoom lens
• Auto Picture and Face Recognition modes
• High Sensitivity Digital Shake Reduction
• Image Recovery function (a Recycle Bin for the clueless)

Since this camera targets beginners, it naturally uses AA batteries that are easy to find no matter which part of the world you're in. The Pentax Optio E60 won't break the bank either, coming in just one color (black) this October for a shade under $140.
