Pentax Optio V20 compact camera
Sweet and simple?
However, we weren’t impressed with the Smile Capture mode. This technology isn’t new, and to be honest, we have seen better systems that won’t take a shot until a smile is actually detected - the Optio V20 happily shoots away in Smile capture mode, even when your subject is scowling.
Likewise, the blink warning system is supposed to tell you that the subject has blinked and that you should take another shot. It would have been more useful if the Optio V20 did this automatically.
