As we stated with the Optio M20 and M30 earlier this year, Pentax has created yet another appealing ultra-compact digital model.
With a street price of US$199 or less, good image quality, class average performance, loads of useful features (Face Recognition, Digital Shake Reduction, 13 exposure modes, etc.), and its stylish and durable metal body, the Pentax Optio M40 offers and outstanding value. Having 8-megapixels of resolution, allows you to create huge prints (13×19-inch or larger), just be sure you’re using a lower ISO setting.
I feel the Optio M40 will be a very popular model during this upcoming holiday season.
