Sample Shots

You get a 4.9-19.6mm/f.2.6-5.8 4x optical zoom - equivalent to a 28-110mm lens in the 35mm format.

The Wide mode (top) works by stitching two images together to create what Pentax describes as the equivalent of scene shot with a 21mm extra wide angle lens. Hmmm...

The face-recognition system can detect up to 32 mugs, so a small group shot like this presents no problems for the Optio P70.

The Optio P70 comes with ACDsee photo management software.
