In the cutthroat world of compact cameras it takes a certain something special to stand out — and we’re not entirely sure that Pentax’s new Optio E75 has it. The 10.2 megapixel shooter offers a CCD sensor with an ISO range of 80 – 1600 tucked behind a perfectly average 3x, 32 – 96mm equivalent, non-stabilized zoom. It has room for a 2.7-inch screen, shoots video in good ‘ol VGA, has all the de rigueur face and smile detection modes, and will cost €120 (about $160) when it drops in Europe this July. No word on a domestic release, but perhaps we’ll find out more next week.
