Pentax Optio E70 for $100, P70 for $160

If you like the Pentax Optio, don't forget to take advantage of this short term instant rebate promotion! During this promotion, you can get the Pentax Optio E70 for $100 with free shipping and handling from Adorama. This is an entry-level, AA-based, point-and-shoot camera, with a three-times optical zoom lens and a reasonable ten megapixel sensor.

If you want a more advanced camera than the E-series, with a Lithium-Ion battery instead, then you may want to take a look at the Pentax Optio P70 offered with free shipping, also by Adorama, for $160. This has a 12-megapixel sensor, and a four-times optical zoom lens. Another plus is that the lens starts at around 28mm (in 35mm equivalent terms), so you can use it for larger group shots or interiors, or landscapes or other classic wide-angle subjects. However, please keep in mind that this is not the same as a 35mm full frame lens that starts at 28mm, but it has the equivalent field of view crop. Or something along those lines.

Both of these are 2009 digital camera models.
