The $350 Pentax Optio A30 sports 10 megapixels, a 1/1.8-inch CCD image sensor, and a 2.5” LCD screen. It also touts a Shake Reduction feature enabled by a gyro-sensor in its shifting CCD system.

In addition, the Optio A30 is equipped with a Face Recognition AF & AE function that automatically detects and focuses on faces, regardless of where the people appear in the photo frame. Its video recording mode captures VGA movies at 30fps.
