Between the outside is the custom Pentax RS1000 is a 1/2.3-inch type, 4:3, RGB CCD image sensor with an effective resolution of 14 megapixels (14.53 megapixels total) is based. This sensor sits behind a Pentax branded 4x optical zoom with focal lengths ranging from 4.9 to 19.6 mm effective, equivalent to a range of 27.5 mm to 110mm on a 35mm camera - a good angle for a moderate telephoto range. Maximum aperture varies from f/3.2 across the zoom range and lens design af/5.9 has six elements (three aspherical lenses) into five groups. The Pentax RS1000 does not contain any form of optical image stabilization, mechanical, instead of freezing the software sharpening and use of high ISO up to the camera and subject.
The maximum resolution of 4288 x 3216 images is pixels, and the Pentax RS1000 also offers a 16:9 mode with a resolution up to 4224 x 2376 pixels. Burst shooting is possible with only one image per second for up to three frames. In burst mode, rose to 3.2 frames per second, ten frames, and a VGA to capture 16 images in 16 frames per second with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The RS1000 can also record movies in standard definition or high, with monaural sound. The RS1000 film took 15 or 30 frames per second 720p (1280 x 720), VGA (640 x 480) or QVGA (320 x 240) resolution.
On the back, the Pentax RS1000 a 3.0-inch TFT-LCD with wide viewing angle and a resolution of 230,000 pixels, as one of 320 x 240 array of pixels for each pixel on the side red, green dots and blue. This display serves as the single interface between the user and camera, the Pentax RS1000 not with any form of optical viewfinder or electronic.
In addition to an automated program, the Pentax RS1000 offers a rich selection of fifteen scene modes for users to tailor the look of their images, and an Auto Picture mode, which automatically using a subset of seven types of common scene that the camera seems to him the subject. For creative, digital filters are also proposed nine modes, including Toy Camera, Retro and Sepia. As you would expect in a mode of entry, to have direct control over shutter speed or aperture is not on the RS1000. Exposures are determined with evaluative metering and exposure compensation of 2.0 EV with 1 / 3 EV is available. The equivalent ISO 100-1600 off at full resolution, while the equivalent of five megapixels or less available 3200-6400. Available shutter speeds range from 1 / 2000 to 4 seconds, depending on the mode. Six white balance modes are available, including auto, manual, and four presets. A built-in five mode flash provides an effective range of up to five meters wide and 8.5 m in telephoto (ISO Auto). A digital panorama function can automatically points to the three-shot panorama with minimal effort and a frame composite function allows you to superimpose images of twenty images from the camera.
The Pentax RS1000 uses detection auto-focus and contrast includes a Face Detection can detect up to ten faces in the frame in just 0.03 seconds. Consider not only the use of this information, subjects to determine focus and exposure variables, it is also used to bring a smile shutter function, the image when the subject smiles are detected. The Pentax RS1000 also includes a monitoring function AF to track moving objects around the screen and bezel can be used in three-point AF or spot modes. Focus is normally 1.31 meters, but the RS1000 can be as close as 0.49 meters wide focus in macro mode and locked than 0.26 meters in Super Macro mode, the focal length of the lens to the center the region.
The Pentax RS1000 stores its images and movies on Secure Digital cards, including the latest SDHC memory card types - but not the next-generation SDXC cards. There are also 18.3 MB of internal memory, enough for a handful of shots when you accidentally leave your flash cards at home. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 high speed data transfer to PC, and standard definition video output NTSC / PAL for viewing images and movies on TV. Power comes with a battery D-LI108-ion, considered good for 210 shots on a single charge, 70 minutes of video or 260 minutes of reading. An optional AC adapter is also suitable for use with the RS1000 is available. The software bundle includes ArcSoft Media Impression 2.0 for Pentax, compatible with Windows XP / Vista / 7 and Mac OS 10.3.9 / 10.4 / 10.5 / 10.6 platforms.
The Pentax Optio RS1000 ships in October 2010 for about $ 150 in September
