Canon Ixus Test

The Pentax Optio P70 is a 12 megapixel camera with 4x optical zoom. Small enough to fit in most budgets. With a lot of competition for the big question P70 is why buy the Optio instead of a pocket of many other digital cameras?
Most of these small business tend to have a set similar characteristics. One feature that I do not see anything that is often the focus manually. This is included in the Optio P70 with bread from home. Ideally The manual focus is controlled by twisting a ring to focus on the end of a lens barrel. This is the method used Digital SLR cameras and is the easiest and fastest method to use. With a little camera like that compromises must be made and developed is controlled manually by pressing the buttons on the back of the unit. If you are an experienced photographer, this is not ideal, but better that the function does not belong there at all. Pan focus is useful for tracking moving subjects.
More stuff like features include a trigger Smile blink detection. If you activate the part of the Optio P70 smile shot fired automatically if it detects that someone smiles. The detection Flash a warning message occurs if the camera detects the image has closed eyes.
After a photo was taken, there few additional features. These include the possibility to apply one of 11 color filters, capable of softening orientation and be able to adjust the brightness of the injection. Also can record short voice notes to help you memorize information important vaccine. If you took a photo taken with flash and red-eye compensation can be applied to try to remove it.
Pentax also included a high definition video mode. In my opinion, this is not a substitute for a camcorder. After all, you can not zoom while recording, but it may be useful if you want to shoot a video clip, but a video camera not available.
One area where I 've been somewhat disappointed with the macros. You can only focus from 10cm away from the subject. More similar cameras allow you to concentrate around 5 cm. It's really a drawback if you are interested in taking photos with the Optio about P70. It's a shame that the image quality produced in macro mode is very good.
A couple of points on the target is that it is a wide angle lens and can also increase the amount of zoom when shooting at lower resolutions. A wide angle lens can squeeze more width in one take, so it can do even more dramatic sweeping landscapes or help you get more people on a group photo. I like the longer zoom is available at lower resolutions. The way digital cameras have been sold since their introduction tends to suggest megapixel uses the best quality image. This is not necessarily the case, then do not worry about shooting at lower resolutions. Another advantage is that each image will eat less space on a memory card.
In terms of prices seems to have put the Pentax Optio P70 somewhere between two chairs. Therefore, it is a bit cheaper than just expensive models like the Canon PowerShot 100 IS, but the cost of cheaper options as the Panasonic Lumix DMC FS6. On the basis of quality Pentax image made me feel a little the price up.

Panasonic Lumix or Canon IXUS?
What do you vote? Ixus digital display has not, but honestly, how many times you use it? Lumix has image stabilization, has Ixus 800 ISO (I think), it is best to shoot in low light without a tripod? I do not have the time or means test each camera, so I hope that many out there can share their experiences of these cameras. 5MP or more preferred. I speak Compact £ 100 on eBay, new or refurbished or used. I do not know the retail prices of new cameras, I can not pay anyway.
The Fuji F30 Panasonic beats both Canon and photos in low light.
