Pentax Optio VS20 hi-def camera has two shutter buttons
As smartphones continue to compete with cameras, manufacturers of dedicated digital cameras are finding alternative ways to encourage gadget fans to sit up and take notice. For example, the new Pentax Optio VS20 has two shutter buttons.

On top of its dual shutter button goodness, the Pentax Optio VS20 also has a neat 20x zoom lens and a wide angle 28mm lens. The camera also has a 16-megapixel CCD sensor with image stabilisation.
In video terms the Pentax Optio VS20 will capture high definition video at 720p resolution for top-notch quality home movies worthy of sharing on YouTube or Vimeo.
The Pentax Optio VS20 will be in shops in black and white flavours from the end of February at a cost of £199.99 For that price you also get vertical tripod mount.
