Camera Overview — Pentax Optio E60

The Pentax Optio E60 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor delivering 10MP resolution at a maximum image size of 3648x2736 pixels. Designed with accessibility in mind, it runs on standard AA batteries — either alkaline, lithium, or NiMH — making it a practical travel companion where proprietary chargers may not be convenient. With alkaline cells you can expect approximately 200 shots, while lithium batteries extend that to around 620 shots per the CIPA standard.

The camera features a 2.4-inch TFT LCD display with 112,000 dots of resolution for composing and reviewing images. Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system with face detection AF and subject tracking across 3 focus points. Image stabilization comes in the form of Digital/Electronic IS.

The built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, and Red-Eye Reduction modes with a range of up to 6 meters. For storage, the camera accepts SD and SDHC cards as well as offering internal storage. Video recording tops out at 480p at 30fps.

The E60 also supports a range of color profiles including Standard, Digital Filters, and Frame Composite, giving casual shooters some in-camera creative options. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity is present, keeping the experience straightforward and battery-friendly.
