14th September, 2006 - Pentax is delighted to introduce the new Pentax Optio T20 compact digital camera. An upgrade to the highly successful Optio T10, the new camera still benefits from a combination of stylish design and innovative functionality - such as touch-screen programming, on-screen image manipulation and high-definition playback - but now boasts a meatier 7 megapixel processing performance. This makes this camera is ideal for those who want to match cutting edge design, top-end optical performance and leading digital technology.

Housed within an extremely slim body, the Optio T20 is defined by its extra-large 3.0-inch, high-definition LCD monitor, which allows for easy viewing and a touch-screen control system for programming the camera. Using the screen as the main interface in this way, navigation is simplified, more control is given to the user, and the design of the camera is simplified to make it much more aesthetically pleasing. Yet ease of use and stunning design is balanced by high-end performance, with the camera's 7 effective megapixel resolution delivering exceptionally high-quality prints with crisp detail.

The Optio T20 will hit UK stores in October with a retail price of £249.99. A full press release containing all product specification will be emailed through to notify you of review stock availability.
