The Pentax Optio M20 is a compact point-and-shoot camera with a sizable 1/2.5-inch 7-megapixel CCD, selling for under $200 online. This digital camera offers a 2.5-inch, 115,000-pixel LCD screen, a Pentax 3x optical zoom lens, connectivity options to either PictBridge or ImageLink printers, and a number of preset shooting modes. Manual controls on the M20 include EV compensation, ISO up to 1600, flash, and white balance. Fully automatic settings are only available for controls like aperture, shutter speed, and metering. With a limited maximum aperture of just f/3.1 and questionable construction, image quality will again determine the value of this new point-and-shoot.
