DigitalCameraReview 's conclusion / rating - 16 July 2009 |
“ Bottom line, the Pentax Optio E70 is just too slow. Image quality is sufficient for the needs of a beginner, but no photographer at any skill level wants to wait for their camera to finish processing an image. Again and again.
Slowness aside, the Optio E70 offers very little in terms of performance, especially considering the $140 MSRP. Pentax's competitors offer many options at or below that price point with greater focal range, better image quality and more manual control.
The E70 does offer simple, automatic shooting. The aforementioned "cute factor" is either a bonus or is easily ignored. Shooting under good conditions turned up some decent images, but there's just not enough going for the Optio E70 to make it a good starter camera... ”

MacWorld 's conclusion / rating - 16 June 2009 |
“ The Optio E70 is good for beginning photographers who don’t want to bother to learn the nuances of exposure, framing, and lighting. The E70 does most of the work for you with its preset modes and Auto Picture feature, but still offers experienced photographers features that they’ll appreciate and use. Underwhelming sharpness and detail loss with portraits detract from the overall impressiveness of the E70, but amateur photographers who want to preserve memories from a vacation will find this model a worthy buy... ”

“ Pentax's latest entry-level model, the Optio E70, is every bit as easy to use as its predecessors. Green mode, like on the previous models, is the absolute easiest way to take pictures, and the improved auto mode automatically selects the best of 7 shooting modes for the current situation. They have not let the ease-of-use cut down on the features of the camera. Sporting a 10-Megapixel imaging sensor, 3x optical zoom, Pixel Track shake reduction, 640x480 movie mode and an upgraded face detection system; Pentax hasn't left anything out. The new face detection system can detect up to 32 faces in less than 1/10 of a second. This system also gives you Smile Shutter and Blink Detection features, both of which will assist you in capturing better portrait shots, even when you are not quite ready. One feature listed on Pentax's Specifications page under capture modes is a 16 frame composite option, however we were unable able to find this feature in the camera.
Compact and easy to handle, the E70 has a very durable feel. It widens on the right side, allowing for easy operation with one or two hands; not only when shooting, but viewing your images and changing the camera settings as well. All of the large buttons on the back lay conveniently under your thumb. The 2.4-inch LCD screen looks a little small on the back, but is well protected and easy to see in most lighting conditions. When bright lights hit the screen, they reflect an annoying glare. The resolution of only 112,000 pixels is a bit low, leaving you with less detail than we would like to see since this is your only option for framing and viewing your images... ”
