The Pentax Optio A40 measures 3.6 by 2.2 by 0.9 inches and weighs in at 4.6 oz.
Pentax also announced the Optio V10 (image gallery), an ultra compact camera equipped with a 3-inch LCD display, 8-megapixel sensor and a 3X optical zoom lens. Similar to the A40, the V10 offers functionality such as face recognition and digital shake reduction. The Pentax Optio V10 measures 3.8 by 2.3 by 0.7 inches and weighs in at 4.2 oz.
