The X70's 26mm wide angle is great for cramming in lots of scenery.

----

The telephoto end is equivalent to a massive 624mm.

/94/89730d/7865/11365-pentaxx70contrast.jpg

The exposure system seldom burns out highlights, but the shadows lack detail. Compare this shot with the Ricoh CX1 that I reviewed last week.

Colour rendition is well balanced and natural.

----

/94/67106f/00f6/11365-pentaxx70boat.jpg

The huge telephoto lens is surprisingly usable even hand-held. This was shot at 1/100th of a second.

The X70 is a good general purpose camera, but not without its flaws.
