Coupled with the use of larger icons in the LCD monitor, the Optio E70 not only makes it quick and effortless to set desired modes and functions, but also assures at-a-glance confirmation of operational status.The Optio E70 features the advanced auto picture mode, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject by detecting subject lighting and other conditions. This user-friendly mode not only makes the right mode choice for the photographer, but it also features an auto macro mode, which automatically switches the camera's focus range to macro in close-up applications.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera . . ., June 13, 2009

By	Ol Jim (CA) - See all my reviews

This Pentax performs very well and is small enuf to fit in your pocket. However, in bright sunlight, it is almost imposible to see an image in the screen--would prefer a view finder window for these times.
