Pentax Optio M40 prices and specs
The Optio M40 was released on Jul 11, 2007.
The Optio M40 is a ultracompact camera. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Optio M40 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The device can shoot photos at 8 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The Optio M40 has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will make photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to capture photos of the best quality pay attention to Leica Q (Typ 116).
The Optio M40 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for taking action photos of a very good quality. The device can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the device and the photographer won't be able to switch it. The lens provides low 3x optical zoom.
