Pentax Optio A40 prices and specs
The Optio A40 was produced on Oct 1, 2007.
The Optio A40 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Pentax Optio A40 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Pentax Optio A40 can make pictures at 12 megapixels highest resolution. But for better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Optio A40 has a 1/1.7' (7.44 x 5.58 mm) sensor which means that the model will produce pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is more portable. And if you want to take pictures of the best quality check Leica M10.
The Pentax Optio A40 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for shooting action pictures of a satisfactory quality. The Pentax Optio A40 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and you can't switch it. The lens provides low 3x optical zoom.
