Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. The Pentax Optio M60 may be beefed up with spec sheets to match other compact cameras, yet there's something about the design that just can't shake the toy-like feel. Y'know: for kids! The numbers are plenty decent: 10-megapixel resolution, face-finding for up to 32 fizzogs, and 24 shooting modes.
Another impressive feature is a 5x optical zoom lens, although it's not especially wide at 36mm, equivalent to a 35mm camera. The 64mm (2.5-inch) screen looks dwarfish next to many others these days.
The camera comes in a choice of red, black and blue, finished with silver metal accents. We like the stretched effect caused by the off-centre lens, and the little touches of red that offset the main colour. It's also stunningly light at 128g.
The Pentax Optio M60 is available now for around £100. This Crave was brought to you by the letter M.
