Pentax Optio H90 and Optio L10 cameras briefly leak out

Looks like the color-crazy engineers in the Pentax labs are brewing up some new goodies: these images of a new Optio H90 and new orange-topped Optio L10 were briefly up on a retailer site today, and Photorumors managed to retrieve the images from Google's cache. There's also an entry for a third Optio, but there was no associated image or info, so there's at least one surprise left in this world.

I'm torn between finding them attractive and thinking they look like bum. Its a fine line, you know.

Erm. I think the model numbers are the other way round Nilay. The cream one is the L10 going from the model number in the photo.

Anyway I really like the orange one.

@grindboy ding the picture has the L 10 marking right on the camera, what are you smoking?

@cosmicinglewood erm duh... move more and eat less = brain that functions better when posting~

I love that the L10 (which is not the orange-topped one) looks like Pentax's old Auto110--a tiny, interchangeable lens, SLR using 110 cartridge film.

I agree the L10 is the better looking of the two. Pentax makes some quality photo equip so it will be interesting to see how these work. I personally hate proprietary lithium batteries in digital cameras and rock a Cannon A590IS as a result; onward with low self discharge NiMH; for trips and other situations it is much easier to carry a bag of these cells then it is to fuss with chargers and charging infrastructure! For real mobile, Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer at $30 or more per batter is a total rip off. Where is the standard lithium battery size already? All of these proprietary batteries and chargers are total rip off and very resource unfriendly!

Is that a left-handed shutter release button? Weird!
