'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.'
'Fronted by a 27.5mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with a 4x zoom, the 12-megapixel ultracompact camera is point-and-shoot simple with all the automatic comforts we expect as well as some extras found above its price point. '

'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.'

'It's small enough to fit into any of your pockets with ease.'

'Overall, the S51c is a nice ultracompact camera, though its wireless capabilities could be more useful.'
'The specs state it's waterproof to 10 feet, but the manual states on page 3: This ATC-2K camera is water resistant, but it cannot be used underwater.'

'the Casio Z1000 can be quite pleasing in bright outdoor conditions'
