This is a brief excerpt from PhotographyBay
The Pentax MX-1 is a new, retro-styled point and shoot camera with a 1/1.7″ sensor inside at 12MP resolution. It has a robust body, complete with a brass top that will add some character to individual units as they age.
Geared toward prosumers, the MX-1 offers RAW image capture and a fast, f/1.8-2.5 aperture on the 4x zoom lens. And, the 3″ LCD articulates, which makes high and low viewing easier.When I picked up the Pentax MX-1 for the first time, I was surprised at just how big it is. The MX-1 rivals the size of some compact mirrorless cameras. So, it’s certainly not a front-pocket camera if you’re wearing skinny jeans.
Reading the press sheet earlier this week, I didn’t think I would care much for the camera. Putting hands on it though, it’s quite a nice point and shoot camera. As I started operating it and snapping frames, I liked it even better.
I’ve got nothing to say on image quality because the unit I handled was a pre-production model; however, the feature set seemed to be pretty smooth throughout.
The fast lens is a solid feature for low light use …
