The other Pentax launched today is this 8MP slim that is about 2cm thick. Not bad, but a quick Google search shows that Sony’s had thinner Cybershots, even if at lower MP ratings. (Not sure if that’s counting the big lens cover slides that most T series cams have.) The back has a 3-inch LCD.
Ultra-thin design is achieved using a new compact battery and miniaturized circuit boards
Huge 3.0 inch LCD monitor makes it easy to compose and review images
8.0 megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom assure high resolution images
Face Recognition Auto Focus and Auto Exposure assure properly exposed portraits
Digital Shake Reduction mode automatically selects higher ISO setting
Powerful flash captures images even in dark locations
Auto Picture mode quickly selects camera settings based on the scene
16 additional capture modes offer versatility
Auto Macro mode allows close-up photography
