Not a good product, not worth the money.

To sum up, there is a dependable two. I checked out the latest offerings and noticed that Samsung now makes AA batteries. There's also a Nikon L610 (or equivalent) camera. Only he had two good, battery-operated camerasβ€”a 110d and a k-xβ€”so I became a Pentax enthusiast. A setback, however, exists here. You could do better with $300. Arguments in favor follow below: As in, "AA" batteries. Batteries with lithium ion cells should be stored in the fridge and used for no more than 1500 frames each…

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

For many years I respected the PENTAX company, once in my youth I shot with an Asahi-Pentax film mechanical SLR, there was one joy. But this model killed respect. Because of the fall on the pavement of my "workhorse" urgently bought the X-5 and on the trail. day I went with a group of children to Tsaritsyno park to shoot a significant children's event for me. Completely disgraced. One joy - they took it back and returned the money without hassle. There was an intention to buy Pentax K 30 or K…

Pros
  • Comfortably lies in the hand. Big zoom, AA batteries. Tilt display.
Cons
  • 1. Focus misses even in bright light, during the day, more than half of the shots are blurred, it's terribly annoying. 2. Noise at all ISOs, always. 3. When shooting video, the optical zoom does not work, in our time - some kind of nonsense! This is already enough to return the camera, which I did.

Excellent product, the best quality.

Bought today. Very comfortable in the hand. Good colors and lots of settings. The stabilization system is excellent. Sturdy, non-bending body. He loves light very much. You can edit pictures directly in the camera. A well-crafted compact. Suitable for amateur photography. The noise of the matrix was annoying, but it depends on the illumination more than on the ISO. Do not expect razor sharpness, the optics are still not of that level. Everything else will not let you down. Perhaps in the new…

Pros
  • Swivel screen, focus ratio and of course firm! It has a decent weight, which in my opinion will have a better effect on image stabilization. You can manually set the shutter speed and aperture settings. It shoots video well, but the zoom is only optical in this case.
Cons
  • Lack of RAW and HDMI cable. Thoughtful, there is shutter lag. Batteries just suck, you should think about good batteries

Bad! I am not satisfied with the quality of the product.

In general, the conclusion is this: I took the camera instead of the lost Olimpus SP-510UZ with a 10x zoom and a 1 \ 2.6 matrix with 7 megapixels. A lot about the Pentax X-5 is written about the functions and capabilities that you think, you buy a photo studio in your pocket. But in fact, you get such a disappointment from the quality of photographs that the old Olympus looks just perfect compared to this model. I did not expect such a depressing quality of pictures from a camera with such…

Pros
  • 1. Qualitatively assembled; 2. It shoots well when using a flash, portraits and macro photography; 3. Large zoom; 4. Good video quality; 5. There is a digital viewfinder; 6. Rotary screen; 7. Long battery life.
Cons
  • 1. Strong noise at ISO above 400. It affects the small size of the matrix 1 \ 2.33 and a large number of pixels. Many pixels on a small matrix - poor quality image; 2. The strongest optical aberration, i. E. image distortion at wide angle. There is a kind of barreling of the image around the edges. Since the lens is designed for a large zoom, this is at the expense of quality at a small zoom; 3. In poor lighting, the photos turn out to be soapy or plastic lenses, or the matrix can not cope; 4. Color rendition leaves much to be desired. Shooting even at maximum color settings does not help. Weak color depth; 5. In automatic mode - photos of terrible quality. ISO is set to 1600 indoors. This mode cannot be used under any circumstances; 6. After turning off the camera and then turning it on, the minimum ISO limit is 200, not 100. But when you turn it on again, 100 appears again; 7. When shooting video, there is no optical zoom, and digital zoom blurs the picture; 8. No RAW, although not critical; 9. When shooting with dual stabilization, a completely different photo is selected that was intended to be photographed; 10. Continuous shooting is not of high quality, etc.

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

If we consider this camera as a bridge between a soap dish and a DSLR, then you should not take it. It is worth taking a closer look at the mirrors. And if you need a compact camera with a good zoom, then the x-5 is a good choice. It is a pity that the size of the matrix is ​​at least not 1/2. There would be no competitors. Of the competitors, it is worth taking a closer look at fudjifilm hs25exr. Don't go for even more zoom, as handheld shooting is difficult. Take a tripod, it will also not…

Pros
  • It runs on AA batteries, but you should stock up on good batteries. Manual settings for everything you might need. Good pictures in good light. Excellent build. Good zoom. Shoots good quality video. Price
Cons
  • Shooting with panning is just terrible, the focus loses the subject constantly. This camera loves light very much, noise appears even at low iso. Shooting in auto mode is not recommended. Plastic tripod socket.

The quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product to my friends.

As soon as they brought it to me, I immediately began to click everything, so to speak, to test the fotik (the batteries were included in the 75 MB memory kit of my own), then I took out the flash drive from the player. At home, I connected it to the computer, looked at the result and went nuts. The photo in the room has a feeling that they were painted and not filmed, I generally keep quiet about the flowers. Then I got sick, various thoughts came into my head that they sold me a craft or a…

Pros
  • For me as a non-professional: 1 Battery operated, change whenever you want 2 Big good zoom lens 3 I liked the way it was assembled 4 Easy to set up 5 Price
Cons
  • Can't shoot indoors right out of the box
