It's camera day today! Or so it seems. With more announcements set to come from other Canon and an early morning update from Samsung, Pentax too has been busy. Aside from a couple of new DSLRs, it's also added an entry-level compact digital camera to the mix.
The Optio E50 makes point-and-shoot simple even for technophobes. Small and light, the camera will automatically adjust exposure settings for portrait shots and correct backlighting; what's more, those less-than-stable pub shots will be rendered infinitely clearer (sorry) thanks to the built in Shake Reduction system. An 8.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and a host of Picture Modes make snapping in any situation a breeze. You can preview your shots on a 2.4" screen and the whole lot runs on two AA batteries, with an improved power efficiency from the previous model that should see you capturing up to 250 more images per set of batteries. It'll be in shops next month for £99.99.
