Hi Ritchie
Welcome to the Forums. Your Pentax X-5 appears in the camera reviews (in Pentax Compact Digital Cameras) and is regarded as a good camera. As @pjv indicated, there is also an interest group for compact cameras. But don't feel you can only post your pics there. You will find regular competitions and opportunities to post your pics for a wider audience. Coincidentally, I spent a bit of time looking for an X-5 myself recently as a present for my granddaughter. I gave up in the end as there were none available at sensible prices.

Welcome, Richie

Congratulations on your X-5... it's a great little camera. For the purposes of these forums and photo-sharing or competitions, it's considered a "compact" or "point and shoot".

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it
