Two New Compact Digital Cameras Released for Christmas 2005

Pentax is delighted to announce the commercial availability of two recently launched compact digital cameras, the OptioS6 and the OptioWPi.

The Pentax OptioS6 - an iconic design boasting the smallest and lightest dimension in its class
An innovative new approach to lens design means that the OptioS6 features a 3x optical zoom housed in a body with a depth of just 19mm. Despite being so exceptionally thin, it provides the shooting performance of six effective megapixels. Suitable for photographers of all levels, the OptioS6 offers the benefits of cutting edge technology and world-leading optics, encased in a body that exudes style and engineering excellence.

Offering the same waterproof performance, the OptioWPi also boasts a sophisticated design, making it suitable for use on virtually any occasion.

22mm thick, the OptioWPi offers a large, 2.0-inch LCD monitor and six effective megapixels.
