The Pentax Option M50 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens. The 5x lens gives you a small amount of extra zoom power over more standard cameras in this price bracket.
Although a simple point and shoot camera Pentax have designed a camera that looks good. It is available in six different colours: black, sky blue, blue, pink, pink/red and silver. It may not be the smallest, slimmest camera on the market, but it should still fit into a good sized pocket. Without a battery or memory card it weighs a little over 100g, making it one of the more lightweight cameras.
The camera comes with a reasonable price tag and is likely to appeal to someone who is looking for a straightforward camera that does not cost the earth. It does not have many more advanced features, but it does offer face recognition processing.
