Pentax Optio V20 Announced

Pentax have announced the new Pentax Optio V20 - a compact slim bodied 8 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens, 3" screen and face detection focus. It will be available from May:

"Three innovative features on the Optio V20 help users optimize portrait photographs. A Face Recognition function automatically detects and focuses on faces, then sets the optimum exposure. Smile Capture detects the key facial expression of happy people and releases the shutter automatically. Blink Detection reports to the user whether any subjects closed their eyes in an image, so that the shot may be recaptured if necessary."
