Pentax Optio 50 prices and specs
The Pentax Optio 50 was released on Feb 13, 2005 and is sold in USA for 125.00
The Pentax Optio 50 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Pentax Optio 50 has different automatic modes but you won't get photos of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Optio 50 can make images at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the model will make images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the Optio 50 is small. But if you want to produce images of the professional quality check Sony Alpha 7 II.
The Pentax Optio 50 has max shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still the photographer will manage to take images of moving objects. The Optio 50 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not too high - 320 x 240.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens has low 3x optical zoom.
