Following the Optio V10, the Pentax Optio V20 offers an extended zoom range (5x over the V10's 3x) with the same 8 megapixel sensor. The processor has been upgraded, introducing smile and blink detection to accompany the standard fact detection. Users can select from 16 scene modes or they can have the camera choose the right scene mode for the occasion by putting it on full automatic. Macro mode allows focus on objects as close as 4".
