It seems Pentax likes to release products in pairs and that’s the case with the new Optio A40 and the V10 series of digital cameras. Let’s start with Pentax V10 series because they are on the lower-end that sports 8megapixels, 3x optical zoom and a 3-inch LCD display all these in a thin case just 19mm thick. Pentax V10 will be available from November and the price should be near $250.

Now to talk about the higher-end digital camera released today, Pentax Optio A40, it has nothing less than 12megapixel, a 2.5 LCD display and 3x optical zoom. This one also features face detection and some sort of shake-reducing processes. Optio A40 is going to be available right this month and the price would be near $300.via Engadget
