Pentax Optio M85 prices and specs
The Optio M85 was released on Sep 17, 2009.
The Optio M85 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Pentax Optio M85 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot photographs of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can take pictures at 12 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to produce pictures of the professional quality check Leica M-P (Typ 240).
The Pentax Optio M85 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for making action pictures of a very good quality. The camera can even produce videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480 (30.
The lens is fixed and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has weak 3x optical zoom.
