X70

If there is one camera company that is listening to the economic problems of the country, it's PENTAX. They just announced yet another Instant Rebate Program effective May 1 – May 9, 2009 on select digital cameras. Get a $30 instant rebate on the PENTAX X70 Megazoom digital camera and a $50 instant savings on the PENTAX K2000 digital SLR single lens kit.

The 12 megapixel X70 features a 24X zoom and is compact…making it a great camera for summer travel. The PENTAX K2000 is a good choice for entry-level digital SLR photographers who are ready to step up from their compact digital camera.
