Press Release: PENTAX Announces Slimmest Digital Camera in Optio Line
Sept. 1, 2005--PENTAX Imaging Company has announced
the slimmest member of the Optio S series of stylish digital cameras. The PENTAX
Optio S6 digital camera features 6.0 megapixels, an innovative powerful 3X zoom
Sliding Lens system, and the slim dimension of just 7/10 of an inch thick.
"Slim is still in, and the Optio S6 offers the
slimmest PENTAX digital body available," said Ned Bunnell, director of
marketing, PENTAX Imaging Company. "PENTAX continues to pack features into the
stylish Optio S series and preserve the slim, tiny design that makes these
cameras small enough to fit into a breath mint tin," added Bunnell.
An innovative design approach in the Optio S6
contributes to the camera's compact dimensions. Glass-molded aspherical lenses
that are concave on both sides, a thinner CCD and other advances help reduce the
depth of this model by a fifth of an inch. The camera also incorporates
engineering expertise with high-density mounting and the strategic use of
internal space so that substance and style blend perfectly in the PENTAX Optio
S6.
While the PENTAX Optio S6 dimensions have slimmed
down, the camera's generous 2.5 inch LCD monitor offers low reflection with a
built-in backlighting mechanism so images may be viewed clearly even outdoors in
sunny weather. As a result, the Optio S6 makes it easy to compose shots,
playback recorded images for confirmation and select functions with smooth menu
navigation.
PENTAX will ship the Optio S6 in October 2005 for
under $350 U.S.
