We've already seen Pentax tease a few new cameras (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/pentax-teases-new-dslr-645-digital-finally-making-its-debut/) ahead of PMA, and it looks like another pair have now slipped out at the last minute. That includes the rugged W90 which, among other things, packs a ring of LEDs around the lens to help with close-up shots, and should hold up against even the nastiest conditions (as Pentax has gone out of its way to demonstrate in the photo above). Joining it is the 12.1-megapixel Pentax X90, which is a bit less compact and not weatherproof, but packs a 26x optical zoom in a DSLR-esque body, among other as yet unspecified specs. Still no word on pricing or availability, but Pentax should be getting official with these any day now.
Pentax's rugged W90, ultra-zoom X90 now all but official (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/pentaxs-rugged-w90-ultra-zoom-x90-now-all-but-official/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:26:00 EST.
