The main players seem to be flooding the market recently with several new digital point-and-shoot cameras. First Canon, then Sony, now Pentax has announced two new models from their Optio line, the T30 and the M30. Both models include a 7.1MP CCD sensor with top setting of ISO 3200, and 3X optical zoom lenses, along with an impressive new face-recognition function that helps the camera autofocus. These cameras are also compatible with SD and HCSD cards. The big difference between the models is that the T30 features a 3-inch touch display LCD including stylus. Sketch or write over the image files directly on the camera LCD. The vintage Kodak Autographic idea is still going strong after nearly one-hundred years. List price for the T3o is $349.95 while the ‘touchless’ M30 will list at $199.95. Expect these models to hit store shelves around March of this year. Image of the T30 provided by Pentax.
