About the Pentax Optio W20
The Pentax Optio W20 was released in August 2006 and carries a 1/2.5-type CCD of about 7 megapixels. Its lens covers 38-114 mm in 35 mm terms, a 3x optical zoom, with an aperture of F3.3-4, so the change in brightness toward the tele end is small.
The body measures 107 x 55 x 23 mm and weighs 150 g. The screen is 2.5 inches and images are saved to SD cards. Power comes from a dedicated rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The long, slim shape slips into a jacket pocket easily, and the F4 maximum at the tele end keeps the lens practical for indoor snapshots. Together with the SD slot, it makes a simple grab-and-go camera for casual outings.
Buying one used
It uses a dedicated rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and media is SD. Before relying on it, confirm that the battery takes a charge, then check lens extension, the screen and SD card reading.
