Not Worth It

If you're used to good build Pentax quality, this isn't it. Yes, the Image Quality is good, but the viewfinder is almost useless. You can sort of see what is in the frame, sort of, with a lot of squinting. The zoom switch/function is jerky and it is hard to stop at the focal distance you want. There are a lot better P&S cameras out there. And there are some fantastic Pentax DSLRs out there. So I recommend going with one of those instead.

About Pentax X-5

Pentax introduces the X-5 digital camera, an ideal choice for photographers who want to easily capture beautiful, high-quality images of a wide variety of subjects and scenes. Featuring a powerful high-magnification optical 26X super-telephoto zoom lens, the Pentax X-5 provides photographers with a focal length of 4mm-104mm (22.3mm ultra-wide angle to 580mm super telephoto 35mm equivalent). Coupled with the camera's Macro mode, which allows photographers to capture dramatic close-up images of subjects as near to the lens as 0.4 inches, the X-5 delivers an extensive range of creative photographic possibilities.

Pentax X-5 is the ideal compact travel companion for photo enthusiasts who want a digital camera with them wherever they go that's capable of taking every type of image from gorgeous portraits, to scenic landscapes to extreme close-ups and more.

And for effortless image composition and image playback, the PENTAX X-5 also features a large tiltable 3.0-inch, high-definition LCD screen that offers sharp image viewing, even in bright sunlight, while allowing users to shoot from high and low angles to keep the subject neatly framed in the image area. By combining a state-of-the-art image processing engine and back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with low-noise, even up to ISO 6400, and approximately 16.0 effective megapixels, the X-5 provides very high-resolution images.
