At a time when the world seems to think that the jazzier the gadget the more it appeals to the people, that cameras should, a la mobile phones, come in colours of the vibgyor, thankfully there still are some people who would appreciate simplicity and functionality of design and colour. They are those who appreciate gadgets for what they were meant for – making our lives easy. One such camera that fits the bill for a simple yet functional gadget is the Pentax Optio E70. It comes with resolution of 10 mp and a zoom range of 4x.
Design and FunctioningThose who love the original versions of digital compact cameras, the way they were meant to be, will love the Pentax OptioE70. This functional and simply formed camera comes with a fluid and easy to grip design, is lightweight at 160gs and comes in two highly sophisticated colours of Champagne Gold and Midnight Black. Optio E70’s Green mode selects the optimum combination of exposure settings, ISO sensitivity and other factors for a given subject or scene. Its Digital Panorama mode helps to compose a single panoramic picture from as many as three images. It also provides the Favourites function to save reduced-size files of favourite images in the camera and recall them at the will of the user. This camera also features the Face Recognition AF & AE function, which is extremely handy when taking casual snapshots of people. It optimizes the focusing and exposure status of the subject, up to 32 faces in a single image, in approximately 0.03 seconds. It contains internal memory of almost 35MB and is compatible with SD/SDHC cards.
