Advantages and Disadvantages of Pentax X70 (Review)
Posted on | October 31, 2009 | No Comments
In general, Pentax X70 is not the disappointing though here and there still needs to be improved. Body for example. Although the build quality of this camera is not bad but the light weight makes this camera fragile impression. It was inevitable because most of the camera body with standard design is made of plastic. Apart from the impression that frail, Pentax X70 design is adequate in this category.
At least there is enough space for fingers footing both in front and rear. Both grip is also coated with rubber to reduce the risk of skidding when operated.
Maybe that require little habituation is a light weight. Lightweight, automatic camera so a little less steady when held and resulted in moving the camera when shooting.
This site also highlights about this camera interface is quite easy to understand especially if you’re already familiar with the layout of compact cameras. All the standard features such as image Stabilization, ISO settings, manual exposure, aperture priority and shutter priority are provided. Even Pentax also offers several scene modes are quite useful for those who do not want to be bothered with the manual settings.
Overall, the performance of this Pentax X70 is not very reliable. The data obtained showed that the lag time between shots is hardly fast despite the continuous shooting modes are provided. The main cause of this delay is its autofocus feature that works slow. This feature works accurately even in low lighting conditions, but to complete the process that takes time focusing long enough.
Quality, in general, to say good. Lens is quite good and the sharpness can be maintained in all areas although there are few signs of distortion. Color can be reproduced with the natural dynamic range, but his range is still limited. Enough so that the real problem is its noise level is quite severe. Even at ISO 100 noise was already beginning to show.
