Photography Blog has reviewed the first super-zoom digital camera from Pentax. The camera is called Pentax X70 has an impressive 24x optical zoom and a big 12 megapixel sensor. It remains to be seen if the X70 can produce pictures of good quality.
Some key features for the Pentax X70:
-24x optical zoom lens (26-624mm)
-12 megapixel sensor
-2.7″ LCD screen
-triple shake reduction
-Super Macro Mode for getting as close as 1 cm
