Optio 1-10 Classic Silver

05/08/10

HOYA CORPORATION Imaging Systems Division is pleased to announce the addition of a new-retro taste, black-and-silver version of the SLR-shaped, multi-feature PENTAX Optio I-10 camera (launched in February 2010) to its digital compact lineup.

Named the PENTAX Optio I-10 Classic Silver, this new model was created in response to users’ enthusiastic requests for a black-and-silver appearance reminiscent of the beloved SLR film cameras of the past. The combination of a black-colored front panel with a high-quality, textured-leather-like finish and silver-colored top and bottom panels results in an elegant, new-retro taste look closely resembling that of a classic SLR camera. It is a unique design that will make it a very personal photographic tool for many photo enthusiasts.

Developed to be a digital compact camera unlike any other, the PENTAX Optio I-10 offers a unique combination of a palmtop-sized, lightweight body and a classic SLR-like appearance. It is also packed with a host of user-friendly features and the latest picture-taking functions — from the high image quality assured by approximately 12.1 effective megapixels, an optical 5X zoom lens with approximately 28mm wide-angle coverage and an CCD-shift-type shake reduction system, to a set of digital filters including a creative Toy Camera filter and a 16:9 wide LCD screen as well as a HD 720p video function. As a result, the Optio I-10 has been very well received in the market since its launch earlier this year

Convention testimonials I just wanted to say thank you for once again hosting an excellent Convention. I felt it was very well organised, well executed and gave everyone many, many opportunities.

Photo Quote: What I feel is that the picture-taking process, anyway a greater part of it, is an intuitive thing. You can't go out and logically plan a picture, but when you come back, reason then takes over and verifies or rejects whatever you've done. So that's why I say that reason and intuition are not in conflict--they strengthen each other. - Wynn Bullock
