The tech freaks are really going to have technological treasure at the CES. Friends, you will, for sure, be showered with the latest and greatest products at this year mega event of the technological products. You name it and you have it at the grand Mela of technology. I may exhaust to write about the news, views and blogs as to the forthcoming high-tech products, but the CES has a lot to rain over you.

So enjoy and get ready for the two latest compact digital cameras from Pentax Imaging Company. Known as the Optio P70 and the Optio E70, either of the cameras gives the impression of being siblings owing to their names but so far as specifications go, they set themselves apart to some extent. First of all, let’s talk of the Pentax Optio P70, which is the more high-end of the two, as it comes built-in with 12 megapixel CCD, which is capable of capturing 720p HD videos at 15 frame rate per sec, 4x optical zoom excellent for enhanced view of subjects, and a 2.7? LCD display.

Yes, all of the hardware mentioned above will be trash if there aren’t a few integrated facets of the camera. So, let’s learn that the P70 provides a Pixel Track Shake Reduction, which claims to help in reducing the blur, and enables users to capture sharp images. Plus it has an Advanced Face Recognition feature, which can detect 32 faces immediately and to give support to that, a Smile Capture and Blink Detection has also been built-in, which lets the camera snap pics while everybody has smiles or aware you whilst someone got the eyes closed.

Now, let’s have a look at the Optio E70 which too has the great software features similar to the P70. Such as it will come built-in with 10 megapixel CCD, a 2.4? LCD display and a 3x optical zoom. But it is to be note worthy here that it doesn’t come with the 720p HD recording capability of the P70.

The P70 is expected to be available for $199.95 in white, red and silver, whereas the E70 will be available for $139.95 in champagne gold, deep blue and red color. So, enjoy!!
