Smile Capture and Blink Detection
Smile Capture recognizes the precise moment a subject smiles and releases the shutter automatically, and Blink Detection gives an alert to retake the pictures if anyone’s eyes are closed.

Pentax Digital Shake Reduction
Digital Shake Reduction mode reduces camera shake and blurring of the subject when photographing still images. At up to ISO 6400, trust the E70 for accurate, blur-free photos.

This review is from: Pentax Optio E70 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.4 inch LCD (Dark Blue) (Electronics)

All right as far as it goes. Got it for my wife and she likes it, but it's a bit of a toy and I can't take a camera seriously which uses throwaway batteries.

It is easy to use but the colours are nothing spectacular, the response time is slow by today's standards.

The camera is really fun and easy to use. It is sleek and doesn't take up much room to carry along anytime you want to have it available. For the cost, it is definately worth it.
