No doubt it's a bridge camera and not for professionals. If you're a hobby user go for it. Though, a person with a little bit technical knowledge and creative sense can make stunning photos with Pentax X-5. It's not look like a toy but pretty small with good hand grip. Flip screen is a good and useful feature of X-5. Its White Balance is standard. Finally, Pentax X-5 has good potential with multiple manual features. Always try to use its "Program" and/or "Manual" mode for ultimate performance in its class.
wont each much space. i will only write issues with it any those features which are either rare or not found in other cameras in this range (to my knowledge)nnBad: Thatn1- You cant do much color options while clicking the pic, can only edit later, very disappointing (normally we have burnt, vivid, super vivid, B&W, Sepia etc)n2- Royal enfield without thumping and camera with that genuine sound of "click" is a singer without voice. u cant hear that click in it. bad really badn3 - view finder is very poor quality. you can see lines due to bad resolution/dpin4 - you cant zoom while recording videos. Seriously.. they are kidding with us. old age limitationn5- Aperture mode totally missing. in a bridge camera you have to have this.n6- Speed mode totally missing. reason is max speed is 1500 only so they must be ashamed of putting this mode at all. sport mode so does compensate, infact it does not work anything.n7 - poor picture quality when you try to use this with zoom. i have used 2 diff bridge camera already. one of them is 5 year old now and still better then this.even if you use this with their best shake prevention option it gives broken image...n8- Flash can not auto pop up u have to open it by pressing a button near the left side of flash.n9- heavy even when it does not have anything really good.. nnGood: thatn1- It has Time Laps recording but no speed settingsn2- Slow speed camera with HD.. really good. i enjoyed this for entire day.n3- while recording shakes could not do any harm to quality of videon4- good software included for editing images and videos on ur PC.nnnall in all i am so dissatisfied with this camera, even when i got it for 8500 (without charger)
