Pentax Optio M50 prices and specs
The Optio M50 was produced on Jan 23, 2008.
The Optio M50 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has different automatic modes but you won't shoot photographs of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Pentax Optio M50 can shoot photos at 8 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.35' (5.76 x 4.32 mm) sensor which means that the Optio M50 will produce photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio M50 has small dimensions and weight. And if you want to take photos of the professional quality check Nikon D5.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for making action photos of a very good quality. The Pentax Optio M50 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner can't switch it. The lens has average 5x optical zoom.
