Another strong Pentax camera is ready to join their Optio S line up. The S series is a slim-line digital camera full of state of the art features. The S7 is raising up to 7 megapixels, and will introduce their “Face Recognition AF & AE”. This function isn’t what it sounds like, but it still adds a lot to the camera. Pentax says it “simplifies portrait-taking by automatically detecting the position of the subject’s face and adjusting the focus and exposure based on the detected position.”
The Optio S7 has a 3X optical zoom, a 2.5 inch LCD monitor and 23 MB of internal memory. The camera also has a MPEG-4 DivX Movie Mode and will accept both SD memory cards and SDHC cards, up to 4GB. The camera will go on the open market in September 2006, with a price under $300.
