The new Pentax X70 with 24x optical zoom

Pentax has just unveiled its newest camera, the X70 Megazoom. The camera has a 24x optical zoom which makes sense since it is called a “Megazoom.” The camera looks like a DSLR but is supposed to be an in-between camera — not quite a DSLR and not quite a point and shoot. It has a SLR shape and shoots pics at 12 megapixels. The camera also has a 2.7-inch display.

The X70 has some advanced controls that you may not normally use on a point and shoot like aperture/shutter priority and “high speed continuous shooting at 11 FPS.” The X70 also can shoot 720P video at 15 frames per second. That is a strange amount of frames per second for a video, so you won’t be replacing your camcorder with this device.

What’s this thing cost? The X70 will cost $399.95 and will ship in April.
