Pentax Optio SV prices and specs
The Pentax Optio SV was released on Sep 13, 2004 and is available in USA for 129.99.
The Pentax Optio SV is a ultracompact camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Optio SV has different automatic modes but you won't shoot pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Pentax Optio SV can shoot photos at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The Optio SV has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will produce photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it is more portable. And if you want to capture photos of the professional quality check Sony Alpha 7S II.
The Optio SV has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for taking action photos of a satisfactory quality. The Pentax Optio SV can even record videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320x240.
The lens is fixed and you can't switch it. The lens provides satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
