'One of the most attractive cameras I've looked at is the Fujifilm FinePix F70 EXR with its glossy gunmetal grey coating and smoothed out corners giving it an impression of sophistication and elegance rarely seen on a consumer model as this level of design is usually reserved for the top end models. '
'the F70EXR is the world's slimmest 10x optical zoom compact camera.

'Fuji's new FinePix F70 EXR is the worlds smallest camera to feature a 10x optical zoom'
'Fujifilm's FinePix F70EXR is (as of November 2009) the "World's smallest digital camera with a 10x optical zoom." '

'Unlike most ultra zooms, the S700 is hardly expandable at all.'
'when the light's not so good, capture lag jumps to an unacceptably high 2.2 seconds'
'However, it takes quite a bit of effort to adapt to the S700's design, which ranges from simply odd in places--you increase shutter speed and aperture with the down arrow and decrease them via the up arrow--to downright frustrating in others.'
