The Pentax Optio V20 is a point and shoot digital camera with 8 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. The Optio V20 is available in black and silver and is just about small enough to slip into a standard sized pocket.
The main attraction of this camera is likely to be ease of use. It is suited to anyone who is looking for a straightforward digital camera without more advanced features. The extra zoom over and above that found on some of the more basic models will also prove to be attractive.
You will also find a healthy amount of memory (52mb) built into the camera by Pentax. This is enough to get you started and run a few tests on the camera. It is compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.
When it comes to price the Optio V20 fits into to the lower end of the market and should not break the bank.
