Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

PENTAX Imaging Systems is pleased to announce the PENTAX Optio M900, a standard-class, lightweight compact digital camera that is equipped with advanced basic functions.

Thanks to its ease of use, the Optio M90 is the perfect choice for a variety of photography scenes and modes. Key features include a sophisticated metal rubber coated soft-touch exterior, a high-definition sensor of approximately 12.1 megapixels, a large and easily-viewable 2.7’’ LCD monitor, as well as an upgraded optical wide-angle 5x zoom. Furthermore, the Optio M90 has been designed to produce beautiful photography with minimal effort through a variety of upgraded features including aan improved face recognition function, smile capture and blink detection modes, and further advancement of the scene modes – 20 in total, including the Auto-Panorama, and Backlight modes.

The Optio M900 features a very compact body that fits into the palm of a hand and houses an optical wide-angle 5 times zoom, where an angle of view equivalent to approximately 28mm to 140mm in 35mm format can be achieved. This angle view makes it possible to capture a full group of people or whole architecture in the frame, without needing to step backwards, and to zoom further when taking photos of landscapes, commemorative photos and portraits. The Digital Zoom of 5x extends the zoom range to enable high-magnification zoom photography equivalent to a maximum of approximately 25x.

The Optio M90 is stylish and detailed in design with an aluminum alloy body coated by a soft-feel rubber texture.

The effective pixel count of the Optio M90 amounts to a high definition of approximately 12.1 megapixels. In addition, clear and high-quality images can be achieved through a high-performance PENTAX lens. Clear prints of detailed areas, are possible even when photos are stretched out to large sizes.

The Optio M90 features the advanced Auto Picture mode, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene by detecting the subject’s lighting and other conditions. In addition, there are another 20 scene modes, which include the Auto-Panorama mode for composing photographs into one panoramic picture, a Backlight mode to capture perfect pictures even with sun in the background, and a Auto-tracking mode to follow and focus on the subject even if it moves out of the centre of the frame. The Optio M90 also features the upgraded Face Detection AF & AE function, as well as the Smile function which automatically releases the shutter the instant it detects the subject’s smile, and the Blink detection mode, which warns the photographer when the subject’s eyes close at the time of shutter release.

I love this 22 Nov 2011
I've got a big 'proper' pentax but wanted something I could carry easily. This is perfect, lightweight, got loads of fun picture modes and editing stuff so you can play around or just look and click. You would need a case as the lens cover is quite delicate and could easily get bumped and damaged (mine did, but Pentax fixed it for me ) Overall, it was just what I was looking for and a good price too.

Previously had a Pentax Optio M10 (6 Megapixels) which developed a fault, making it a scrapper (after about 3 years use). The M10 was brilliant, using it for work. I could take photos on site inside electrical control panels and read the wiring cable numbers etc back in the office.

The M900, I assumed, was a newer version of the same camera - WRONG. It has 12MP instead of 6MP, so it should be better, but the photos are actually no where near the same quality. Will, probably, have to buy another camera which will not be a Pentax.
