Not that I like to write a full review, but if you're interested in this camera, I'd say just go ahead and buy it. It's very good quality, but honestly, will need to buy at least two extra batteries, I don't know if is a design flaw, but the life of the batteries, even the aftermarket ones, is too short. Hope Pentax comes up with a solution to this (or the aftermarket battery designers). from Amazon.com Not as impressed as I thought I would be. It has a supposed triple anti shock feature that doesn't work better than my Kodaks anti-shock. from Amazon.com When I first started looking at this camera, I was a little apprehensive to buy it because no stores carry it ANYWHERE. This is only because Pentax has raised their annual quota to a ridiculous number, so nobody will carry it in-store. So, I decided to give it a try and order it. from Amazon.com The one drawback might be battery life and availability. Otherwise I would have rated it a 5. Substitute batteries are available online but Pentax doesn't distribute them in the U. S right now. from Amazon.com I took shots without the support and they were very clear but I wouldn't want to risk the shot if it was a one-time opportunity. The camera offers a lot of variety for settings so it should please any type of photographer. The only drawback for me is that you need to flip up the flash if you want it to go off, the camera will take pictures in very low light without the flash but they will be grainy and I was used to my smaller Pentax where the auto flash kicked in without you doing a thing. from Amazon.com This is a great camera. Its zoom really reaches waaaay out and was perfect for my trip down the Oregon coast. I took over a thousand photos and was extremely pleased with the Pentax. from Amazon.com that all eat up battery life. I also recommend a good LCD screen protector. I found a nice glass one for under $10 made for the Pentax screen. So, all in all, this camera has most everything I wanted in a digital camera without all those lenses to lug around. from Amazon.com AT FIRST I DID NOT LIKE IT SO MUCH BUT ONCE I GOT FAMILIAR WITH ITS SETTINGS THIS LITTLE POINT OF SHOOTER GAVE ME THE BEST SHARPER PICS THAN ALL THE POINT OF SHOOTERS I OWN .. THIS IS NO BULL I SHOT WITH THIS CAMERA FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES FROM MY WINDOW NO LESS THE SHARPNESS WAS SUPERIOR THAN ANY CAMERA I OWN BY COMPARISON, I LIKED SO MUCH THAT I BOUGHT A SECOND ONE AS BACK UP. from Amazon.com Nikon P90, Kodak Z980 and Pentax X70 is made by the same Chinese company. Sold under different brands, all three cameras are almost identical (with minor differences, like Kodak has hot shoe, etc). from Amazon.com I really like the 24x optical zoom and the shake reduction works really well. But it did jam on me when using the multiple picture function. from Amazon.com
