Originally posted by Canada_Rockies My wife went looking for something lighter than a DSLR and ended up buying an X-5 because I am SO PENTAXIAN she thought I would divorce her if she bought a N-something. (Nope, but a C-something would make my blood boil).
My only complaint with the Pentax X-5 that I didn't notice when I bid on it, it doesn't have AV or TV modes, though the older model does have them. So, now I'm a bit disappointed as I was hoping to have a nice bridge camera for myself in addition to one for my oldest (I was going to compare the Pentax X-5 to the GE Power X-5 and possibly give them the better of the two) but now I think I'm probably just going to resell this Pentax X-5. It seems like a nice camera that's probably a good bit better than a cheap P&S, but it's not the intro into more photographic control that I wanted to introduce to my oldest.
Almost picked up a K10d for about $20, but the bidding picked up in the last hours and it went for a normal price.
