Pentax M30 and T30 are Pentax’s new digital point-and-shoot cameras. Both sport pretty nifty features that makes them worth considering over the rest.

Face recognition - The camera attempts to find your subjects’ faces and exposes them properly. This makes getting nice clear shots of your friends and family’s faces easier.

High ISO Digital Shake Reduction - The camera tries to push the ISO setting up to maintain a shutter speed fast enough to suppress handshakes. Not as good as optical image stabilizers since increasing ISO introduces image noise as well.

7-megapixel - I would say megapixel does not matter. But, if you have to compare, 7-megapixel isn’t the best out there. Still very capable.

Other features:
3x optical zoom
3-inch LCD display
Slim and stylish aluminum case

Difference between the M30 and T30 lies in T30’s touchscreen capability. The M30 will retail at US$199.95, while the T30 at US$349.95. Both will hit shelves in March this year.
