'surprisingly lightweight and feature-heavy DSLR-styled camera'
'the Pentax X70 megazoom camera is strong, though it succumbs to problems seen throughout the category--namely slow performance and a noticeable decline in photo quality above ISO 200.'

'The Pentax Optio P70 squeezes in several neat features, including HD video capture, but achieving the low price did necessitate making a few compromises. '
'Despite a few compromises, the Optio P70 offers good value for a small, light camera that you can carry anywhere. '
'At ISO 400 and 800, noise is high, with strong blurring and a cool color shift'
'The lens barrel casts a shadow when the built-in flash is used at very short distances.'

'The S5's LCD screen is so shiny that in basically any type of (daytime) outdoor lighting it behaves like a mirror, making it almost useless for framing and composition -- and that is a major fault since there's no optical viewfinder'
'The supplied Camera Station allows for easy connectivity to the PC, printer, and television--perfect for viewing contemporary slide shows created by the camera'
