Pentax makes all-weather Optio W90 and superzoom X90 official -- Engadget

The X90 will go for $400 and the W90 will go for $330

I've been holding off getting a bridge replacement for awhile last was a Canon S3IS, i'm hoping this X90 gets better reviews versus it's first incarnation. Anyone knows if this is another Fujifilm rebranded product? (i think it was fujifilm with the first 90?)

about sore Anglo-Saxon noses because of poor viewfinder-screen clearance. This one has SIGNIFICANT clearance.

Yay!

Look like an impressive little beast.

The W90 looks very rugged.
Looks ready for the outdoors and whatever knocks and bumps it would encounter!

Does it have the same sensor as the K-X?

What camera are you talking about ?

Fl_Gulfer · 02-27-2010, 08:25 PM

The W-90 sorry.

WMBP · 02-27-2010, 08:48 PM

I think the X90 looks good. I might like to take one with me on vacation this summer, rather than carrying a DSLR body and lenses.

Anybody know when it should be available in the USA?

Neither X90 or W90 will have K-X sensor.

A P&S will NEVER (I don't count Sigma DPx and Leica's cameras as P&S) have an APS-C sensor.

Um no, not within a million miles .... a billion even.

Maybe the same type but not the same sensor as it would be APS-C size.
Maybe smaller with high ISO capability? That would be nice!
