Pentax Optio 230 prices and specs
The Optio 230 was released on Feb 23, 2002. For now the lowest price for the camera is 50.00
The Optio 230 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Optio 230 has different automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Optio 230 has max shutter speed of 1/1500 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway you will manage to produce images of moving people. The lens is built into the device and you can't switch it. The lens provides low 3x optical zoom.
