NOT PERFECT, BUT… I have a ton of experience with Pentax cameras from old style film to the newer DSLR’s. I have always found Pentax cameras to be under rated. At their price point you can usually find features that are found on their higher priced competitors. I have also found that when people complain about picture quality 80% of the time it is the fault of the photographer. I currently have a Pentax K50 and recently purchased the XG-1. As with any fixed lens cameras there are trade offs. The ability to use an array of lens that have a better fit and finish than a fix zoom gives the DSLR more of an advantage, That being said I am very happy with the XG-1. The color saturation is great and the pictures are sharp and crisp. Using the auto setting gives very good pictures There is a slight amount of distortion at the extreme zoom range but it is not very noticeable. It is very simple to use but has enough controls for the advanced amateur. I found the zoom feature to be quiet and fast. The auto focus…
Stunning images in a compact, easy-to-use package.
Outstanding Zoom! But… Outstanding zoom, however, I have some issues with the camera. First, the focus is automatic only. When zoomed all the way out (at a very distant object – like the moon), the focus may only work one out of 5 times! (for the optical zoom) If the digital zoom is used, the camera will not focus at all. Manual focus is definitely needed to make this a useful camera. Secondly, the EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) is terrible! It’s no better than the video cameras of 20 years ago! Why not stay with a “normal” viewfinder? Third, there are “.THM” files, which I understand are thumbnail files, supposedly read by photo programs to display a small version of the larger .JPG files. None of my photo programs read them, and I get a thumbnail automatically from the .JPG file, so these files are simply a waste of space (and time to avoid copying them all to the hard drive), and you can’t turn them off! Fourth, the file numbering changes back to the beginning if you insert a new…
