Hands-on with the Pentax Optio M50 ultra-thin cameraBy Matthew Ruiz, 2 February 2008
Pentax's latest update to their Optio M line takes aim at Average Joe and hits him square in the jaw.

Pentax Optio M50 Specs »  Gallery »
Pentax Optio M50 Pentax has given their Optio M50 a few nifty abilities, but the image-quality isn't as spectacular, and the camera is hampered by consistently shallow depth-of-field. Gadget-lovers may love the M50's innovative features, but those who just want to take pictures could easily find a more dependable camera. Release: March 2008. Price: $230.
Pros: Interesting features, user-configurable button, broad ISO range.
Cons: Tends towards overexposure, narrow f-stop range.
