Pentax Optio 430 prices and specs
The Pentax Optio 430 was released on Sep 26, 2001 and is available in USA for 84.75
The Pentax Optio 430 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Pentax Optio 430 has various automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Pentax Optio 430 can shoot images at 4 megapixels highest resolution. But for better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Optio 430 has a 1/1.8' (7.144 x 5.358 mm) sensor which means that the model will shoot images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. But if you want to make images of the professional quality check Leica M (Typ 262).
The Pentax Optio 430 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for making action images of a very good quality. The lens is fixed and you can't switch it. The lens has weak 3x optical zoom.
