Small in stature. Big in power. The PENTAX X70 packs the capability and control of 12.0 megapixels and a 24X zoom lens into a convenient, compact build. It's the heart of a DSLR in the body of a compact camera.

24X wide-angle optical zoom

The 24X optical zoom is equivalent to 26-624mm, making it ideal for close-up as well as distant shots. Whatever your need - landscapes, group shots, wildlife, sports, and more - this camera's got you covered.

12.0 megapixels

An impressive 12.0 megapixel CCD captures large, detailed images, which can be printed as 11x14 -inch enlargements (and larger) in clear resolution with impressive image quality.

High Resolution 2.7 inch LCD screen

The large, bright 2.7 inch LCD screen lets you easily compose, capture, and review your images and video with great clarity. You can also use the built-in electronic viewfinder to frame and shoot, so you know you?ll be able to get the shot in any lighting situation.

Triple Shake Reduction technology

The X70 boasts three Shake Reduction technologies to reduce camera shake and blurring of the subject: Mechanical Shake Reduction via a CCD shift mechanism, Digital Shake Reduction via high ISO, and Movie Shake Reduction for blur-free video capture.

High-speed continuous shooting

With high-speed continuous shooting at 11 FPS, the X70 makes sure you get the winning shot, even in with the fastest action.

Fast Face Detection

With PENTAX's face detection technology, the camera quickly and automatically sees up to 32 faces in 0.03 seconds, so portraits and group shots are bright and focused, even in backlit situations.

Flexible movie capture

HD movie capture vividly captures moving memories in widescreen 720p (15 FPS) as well as full speed 848x480, VGA, and QVGA resolutions.

Super Macro mode

Close focusing, Super Macro mode brings out the details in even the smallest subjects as close as 1 cm from the lens.

The X70

"The X70 was a disapointment for me. This was my 2nd megazoom camera. Auto mode did not compensate properly for either low light conditions (indoor ambient) or subjects in motion such as children. In Burst mode under outdoor daylight conditions, color abberations occurred in the photos. In zoom mode, the autofocus selected nearer objects as the point of focus instead of the more distant object which was intended ..." Read Full Review »
