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.

Pentax X5. Very Excellent.

Excellent camera, really did not believe I had so many good features. easy to operate even for a person who has never used a camera. With Excellent zoom. mujy manageable. Photos ideals with magnificent resolution. and excellent video quality. I when determining compare. I would imagine that right pentax many features in this camera, actually I was thinking of a nikon p510. But to be considering this option I found this pentax. x5. and I do not regret my purchase. unlike for the price of the camera. I recommend it. until now that I've used I liked everything about her. Adorama also recommend as a seller. but only for me. delivery was a little slow. but adequate. and with well packaged article not to hurt this camera. I highly recommend it and to Adorama.

Love this camera!

Love this camera. Bought it to replace a Canon SX10 IS. The Canon took great pictures outside, but was not good in low light without the flash. Very hard to focus! This camera does it all and does it all well! Stylish, accurate, great picture quality, easy to use, excellent focus ability. Doesn't feel as solid as the Canon, but is well made. I highly recommend this camera for someone who wants more than a point and shoot, but doesn;t want to take classes to learn how to use it! Very satisified!

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.
