Pentax X70

THE GOOD: Sharper photos than most megazoom cameras; plenty of shooting options; straightforward operation. THE BAD: Slow performance; no full-resolution continuous shooting; crippled HD movie recording; noise even at lowest ISO sensitivities. THE BOTTOM LINE: Slow performance and photo quality concerns stop the otherwise very good Pentax X70 from being a winning megazoom.

Pentax X70 Review

The Pentax X70 is the latest super-zoom compact camera to land on our review desk, and the first entry from Pentax into this ever-competitive segment of the market. This 24x zoom model offers an amazingly versatile focal range of 26-624mm, covering everything from wide-angle landscapes to up-close-and-personal nature shots.

DCRP Review: 2009 Super Zoom Shootout

The Pentax X70 is unremarkable, with a few too many corners cut for my taste (limited shutter speed range, choppy frame rate in movie mode, ancient-looking menus, to name a few). Read our Super Zoom Shootout to see how this camera and three others compare!
