There are many listeners to this show that love photography, but don't have the budget or desire to go traipsing off into the world of DSLR cameras. So they contact me and ask what do I recommend. Well this new release by Pentax seems to fit the bill nicely. You get all the below specs for an asking price of $275.
- 16.0 effective Megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor
- F3.1-5.9, 26X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 22.3 - 580 mm
- Sensor-shift image stabilization
- 3-inch articulating LCD display (460k pixels) + electronic viewfinder (260k dot)
- Plenty of manual controls (though no "priority" modes or RAW support)
- Auto Picture mode selects one of 16 scene modes for you
- Plenty of special effects (toy camera, miniature, etc), plus an HDR mode
- Records Full HD video at 1080/30p
- Optional wireless remote
- 75.3MB onboard memory + SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot
- Uses four AA batteries, 500 shots per charge using NiMH rechargeables
