What is it:
12-megapixel compact with 5x wide-angle zoom and HD movies
Typical price:
£137.98 - £194.98
We like:
5x wide-angle zoom; practical USB charging; neat design and controls
We don't like:
HD movie quality not that good; disappointing Dual IS mode; weak continuous shooting
The judgement:
The PL70's a decent camera for the money but it's a long way from perfect. The basic picture quality is fine and it's a decent camera to use, but not all of its features live up to their promise.
