Pentax's slim 2009 style compact — 12MP CCD, 27.5mm-wide 4x zoom, 720p video, 20mm-thick body

The Pentax Optio P70 was a slim style-oriented digital compact launched in early 2009, sold in white, red and silver. At just 20mm thick it was one of the thinnest Optios, aimed at buyers who wanted a genuinely pocketable camera with a usefully wide lens and HD video at a modest price.

It carries a 12-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD behind a 4x optical zoom starting at a 27.5mm-equivalent wide angle and reaching about 110mm. The 2.7-inch, 230k-dot LCD is the only finder. ISO extends to 6400, video records at 720p but only 15 frames per second, and face detection can find up to 32 faces alongside blink detection and smile capture. Stabilisation is Pentax's digital 'Pixel Track' shake reduction rather than optical. Storage is SD/SDHC and power comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery; the body weighs about 110g without battery and card.

The P70 suits anyone wanting a slim carry-everywhere digital with a wider-than-typical lens for its era, good for street scenes and interiors. Its limits are equally clear: stabilisation is digital only, the 15fps HD video looks jerky, and the small high-density CCD gets noisy quickly, so it is best treated as a daylight camera.

Check a charger comes with the proprietary lithium-ion battery, as body-only listings are common and third-party packs vary in quality. SD/SDHC cards remain easy to find, so storage is no obstacle. Inspect the LCD for scratches since there is no viewfinder, and run the zoom through its range — thin-bodied lens mechanisms are the usual failure point on slim compacts of this age.
