The Pentax Optio P80 comes equipped with a host of advanced features and functions to make high-quality digital photography effortless even for first-time digital camera users

The Pentax P80 sports a compact, ultra-slim camera body that makes it ideal for bringing along not only on trips and leisure events, but also on daily outings and business meetings. Combining many design elements - including a high-grade aluminum-alloy housing and delicately-contoured chrome-plated parts that sparkle from every angle - the digital camera body has a beautiful elegant finish that is a statement of the quality within.

Pentax’s innovative Sliding Lens System and space-efficient high-density mounting technology have significantly contributed to a downsizing and weight reduction of the camera body, making the Pentax Optio P80 extremely compact and lightweight - the thinnest part of the body measuring a mere 16.5mm in depth, despite the incorporation of an optical 4X zoom lens  and a large 2.7 inch LCD monitor.

The Pentax Optio P80’s Face Recognition AF & AE function has seen a major upgrade over the previous version. In addition to the ability to automatically detect up to 32 faces in a mere 0.03 seconds, the function can now detect a subject facing diagonally to the digital camera, or one with a tilted head.

The Pentax P80 also offers other user-friendly camera features to help the photographer produce attractive portraits with minimal effort: a new Small Face filter, which makes the subject’s face appear smaller than reality in relation to the body, without compromising the overall balance of a portrait; the Smile Capture mode, which automatically releases the shutter the moment the digital camera detects the subject’s smile; and the Blink Detection function, which warns the photographer when the subject’s eyes close at the time of shutter release.

The Pentax Optio P80 captures beautiful, flawless movie clips at 16:9 high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Pentax P80 comes equipped with an optical 4X zoom lens covering focal lengths from 4.9mm to 19.6mm (equivalent in the 35mm format to approximately 27.5mm wide angle to 110mm telephoto). Thanks to this wide zoom range, the Pentax P80 can be used for a wide variety of subjects and scenes - from spectacular landscapes and group shots in a confined space to tight snapshots from a distance.

Combining approximately 12.1 effective megapixels with the Pentax-developed imaging engine and high-performance Pentax zoom lens, the Optio P80 delivers brilliant, high-quality images with well-defined details. Even when images are enlarged to large-size prints, the user is assured of sharp, high-resolution prints with edge-to-edge sharpness.

- Frame composite function (with 90 frames stored in the camera) to shoot or compose images with decorative photo frames
- Image recovery function, to recover accidentally erased images.
