Pentax has launched the three rumoured Optio cameras, two of them being unusual designs.

The I10 goes back to the look of vintage film SLRs, even including an element of SLR-level features. With fixed-in-place 5× and 28-140mm equivalent lens, the compact camera supports remote control for taking indirect shoots. The 12-megapixel camera does not have an optical viewfinder but sports sensor-based image stabilization, 720-pixel video capture and a new system to detect faces, which can track 32 faces and recognize pets too.

The H90 brings back the image of older rangefinders but has a contemporary design with flat enough surfaces as well as a two-tone body. It has the same resolution and lens features, as well as the 720-pixel video, but has a new pixel tracking engine in order to compensate for shake according to top of ISO-based checks.

The starting point of the line is considered to be the E90 camera with a rubberized and more economic grip. Otherwise, it sports a 10-megapixel sensor, 3× 32-96mm lens, ISO-only shake reduction and ISO 6,400 sensitivity. The compact camera uses AA batteries to be powered.

The three cameras will ship in February. The I10 will come in white or black colours at a price of $300, while the price for the H90 will be $180 and it will be available in silver/black, orange/silver and all-white trims. Pentax will bring the E90 in red or black colour schemes at a price of $100.
