The Pentax XG-1 bridge camera was announced in July 2014 with a list price of $399.95 in the USA.
The XG-1 has 16 MP back-lit CMOS sensor and a 52x zoom lens, F2.8 to F5.6, 24 - 1240 mm equivalent in the 24x36mm format. It features Pentax sensor shift shake reduction in still image mode and software based shake reduction in movie mode. It captures movies in full HD at 30 fps.
It has a 200,000 dot electronic viewfinder and a 460,000 dot rear LCD.
The XG-1 replaces the Pentax X-5 and has a much larger zoom range, but a lower high ISO (3200 vs. 6400 for the X-5), and the LCD monitor is fixed rather than tilting, which has allowed for a more compact design.
The XG-1 has added Av and Tv exposure modes as well as a user mode (custom settings) over the X-5, and it operates on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, where the X-5 used four AA batteries. The battery life of the XG-1 is just 240 images, where the X-5 could reach 950 images.
