HOYA CORPORATION PENTAX Products is pleased to announce the launch of the PENTAX Optio RZ10 digital compact camera. It provides effortless, user-friendly operation throughout the entire zoom range of its high-magnification zoom lens — from wide angle to telephoto, and even at macro settings.
In addition to a 10X optical zoom lens that can handle a wide variety of subjects and occasions — from travel and landscape to action and sports — the Optio RZ10 provides a host of advanced features and handy functions that make photo shooting simple and effortless for everyone. These include dual shake reduction for effective reduction of camera shake, and an upgraded Auto Picture mode for hands-off selection of the most appropriate shooting mode. Sporting a simple but functional exterior design, with meticulous attention to every detail, it even offers a choice of body color from black and three vivid colors. The stylish Optio RZ10 is the perfect partner for all casual photographers.
