Looking for the perfect camera can be hard. You have to choose if you would buy a compact camera for you to bring anywhere you go, or a dSLR camera for some serious photography. But remember that there is also a line dedicated to be in between. These are usually called prosumer camera. These cameras usually have a high megapixel rating, dslr like processor, or high amount of optical zoom. The X70 from PENTAX have all of them.
The X70 packs 12megapixels CCD for some ultralarge photos, 24x wide-angle optical zoom which can capture things even at way way far away, 2.7″ high resolution screen which can display photos at any lighting condition even at direct sunglight, Triple Shake Reduction feature that can take blur free photos even without a tripod, Super Macro Mode which enables shooting objects even at 1cm close! Taking photos this close really unlocks a whole new world for photography hobbyists. High continuous shooting can also shoot 11fps which can be handy to get that perfect shot even at fast moments like during a race, and advanced Face Detection that can prioritize faces and make sure it is bright and focused which is handy during wide group shots even at dim conditions.
The PENTAX X70 wouldn’t up for sale until March 2009. Whichever might be your decision for purchase either an SLR or a compact camera, having a prosumer camera might be the best option actually. And all of the prosumers available, the X70 is defintely a must for a quick list of choices.
