Pentax Optio 330 prices and specs
The Optio 330 was produced on May 29, 2001. For today the lowest price for the camera is 49.99.
The Optio 330 belongs to the category of ultracompact cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Pentax Optio 330 has different automatic modes but you won't take photos of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can take pictures at 3 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/1.8' (7.144 x 5.358 mm) sensor which means that the model will make pictures with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio 330 has small dimensions and weight. But if you want to produce pictures of the best quality check Leica M (Typ 262).
The Pentax Optio 330 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for making action pictures of a satisfactory quality. The lens is built into the camera and the photographer can't change it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
