Pentax MX-1 prices and specs
The Pentax MX-1 was produced on Jan 7, 2013 and is on sale in USA for 399.95.
The Pentax MX-1 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The MX-1 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't take photographs of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The MX-1 can shoot images at 12 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/1.7' (7.44 x 5.58 mm) sensor which means that the model will produce images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. But if you want to make images of the professional quality check Sony Alpha a9.
The MX-1 has max shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. This shutter speed is above average for cameras and is very good for shooting fast moving people. The MX-1 has tilting LCD that will let you to capture images from any interesting perspective easily. The MX-1 records great videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the MX-1 and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
The Pentax MX-1 battery life will be enough to capture approximately 290 images.
