It is a really nice, stylish camera with excellent image quality. It's fun to use but I found that the focusing ability in low light was really poor - with good light it's not bad - but even then, it really only works well for stationary subjects, and if the light is really bright, the LCD easily washes out (I put a flip hood on mine which helped). And, the ergonomics weren't great as it didn't have much in the way of a grip. This isn't to say that I didn't like the camera. I did. As I mentioned it was fun, offered excellent image quality and it was also quite portable, with a relatively (compared to a DSLR) small profile when you slap on a prime lens, which I think it pairs best with. But, once you put on a substantial zoom or the light starts to dim, the camera struggles. I had one for a few years, often even brought it with me instead of my K3, but was bothered by the poor low light focusing, so I decided to part with it, although part of me still wanted to keep it....and every now and then I still kind of miss it.

This is a convenient and high quality camera that is well built and capable of taking excellent pictures through ISO 400, and even pretty decent through ISO 800 where the noise starts to become visible but can be post processed pretty effectively. The lens is fast and sharp, and capable of detailed images and really helps in keeping the ISO in the lower ranges. As a result, I find that I am more inclined than I thought I would be to leave my DSLR at home. On the downside, the RAW write speeds are pretty slow (wish they would fix that), and there is no hotshoe. Of couse, an EVF would be nice, but not crucial. With the sales going on now, it is hard to beat this for the price. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/41987-spodeworld/albums/7442-mx-1-shots/picture66510.jpg[/IMG]"]https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/41987-spodeworld/albums/7442-mx-1-shots/picture66510.jpg
