Pentax MX-1 Handson Review


Ops, I didn't know companies still release cameras which can't do that...

its not a very compelling function for many users so i do not know why you feel so strongly about it :dunno:

Ya, agree but when got , extras features when you need extra wide angle.

It's just a piece of code so it doesn't make the camera more expensive.

I didnt say that it would make the camera more expensive. I said that its not a very compelling function.

Hardly one i use to make a purchasing decision.

Maybe its more impt to you? :dunno:

I think pple who use k5 either know how to stitch or simply prefer to take a more deliberate approach? Like long exposure? Filters?

Its a gimmicky pns feature imo...

No, I never use it but I see no point in arguing against such a function. As I said already, it comes for free. So who cares if it's important or not? Just throw it in there if some people like to have it.
 

If anyone is interested, the MX-1 is being sold at the PC Show at MBS for $620. And they have the full range of Pentax cameras there also. :)

Because it's a suboptimal implementation and IMHO I won't use it seriously because the stitching is a hit and miss.

Based on your logic all camera should also have loads of little programs if it allows for it. Because people want it mar. I say, have good, don't have doesn't matter. I thought it really isn't that important. If you really want a sweep panorama function then don't buy lor. Just like iPhone doesn't allow flexibility to change a lot of things without JB.. So people buy Android lor. Every company should have its own principles and modus operandi instead of having some contest to see who can do more party tricks.

It's not gimmicky if it works and is pretty useful. Also important to folks who are comparing features between cameras to make a buying decision.

Having said that, the MX1 is amazing and currently on offer at an irresistible price tag on Amazon.

Contemplating between this MX1 and Oly XZ-2.
And saw this thread with nice photos. THanks for posting !
