Pentax unveils its X70 with 24x optical zoom

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.
