Tomkins, The Imaging Resource (Thursday, November 10, 2005 - 14:17 EST) Pentax Europe has announced a new digital camera model that is closely based on the existing Optio50 model. The Pentax Optio 50L shares the same lens, imager, and most other functionality of the previous model, but with the optical viewfinder removed in favour of a larger (but slightly lower resolution) LCD display. Body thickness is increased by a few millimeters and the control layout adjusted to accomodate the larger display. The Pentax Optio 50L will not be sold outside Europe. Pricing should be in the region of €230 with the camera going on sale this December.
