Received it today, returning it today. The zoom is cool. The images are very poor. My antique Casio QV3000 3.4MP takes extremely better pix. You can forget about indoor images, they are horrible. I typically use a Canon DSLR but it is unfair to compare the images to a DSLR so I compared to my very old Casio. The Casio wins hands down. Just my opinion but I am very disappointed.

I recently purchased the Pentax X90. I was excited about this camera and its features until I took it outside for a day to do some wildlife photography. The shake was horrible, even with a tripod. Even in the lower zoom ranges, the shake was bad. Plus when the camera lens was zoomed out, it took way too long to get the lens back into a normal range. I tried shutting the camera off, then back on – the zoom would automaticaly zoom ALL THE WAY OUT when turned back on. This is a feature I don’t have time to mess with when taking pics of wildlife.
Also, forget buying an extra battery! I searched everywhere (locally in town and on the internet). No one has the highly specialized battery that this camera uses.I contacted Pentax. They told me the battery may not be available for MONTHS. I shoot a LOT of pics and always need extra batteries. I can’t depend on a camera with only one battery and no backup.

I have had this camera for more then a month. I have taken well over a thousand photos and am thoroughly impressed with the camera overall. The super macro is outstanding. I have taken so many close ups of very small things….(Ex. Ladybug eggs, small dragonflies, water droplets on greenery)that numerous people have asked me what camera am I using. I have also taken some really cool digital zoom photos as well. I am an amateur photographer and have used Fuji, Hp, Pentax SLR 35mm. I find that every photographer and their camera will not take perfect pictures 100 percent of the time but if you read your manual and enjoy taking photos you will not only find awesome ways to use this camera but you will not want to let go of this camera.
Some Pros:Amazing super macro, digital zoom, anti shake, many shooting options, ease of use, fun pre-installed picture frames, night time with flash, good size screen, viewfinder, battery charges a quick hour and a half. A cinch to connect to PC.
Some Cons; lightweight, not enough rubber grip, I would have liked a larger grip area, lens cap(but similar camera lens caps generally come the same),battery life about 200 or so pictures. Picture playback option a bit awkward (have to hold power button and play button together? Just play button would have been fine.
Conclusion…. At the new much lower price (Price was higher when I bought it) I would tell you to jump with both feet! Awesome camera for this price point Period. I have some photos up from this camera..check them out!

all i can say is WOW, great value for money it is just brilliant for new wanabe photographers, it is a good price it has a great zoom and is not to bulky, I like the fact that it is a point and shoot camera but you can also play with the settings and do manual focus etc. I am not planing on being a profetional photographer but this is all you will ever need foor family photos and is also good at long shot photos of the family pet and the birds they are chasing.
all in all a great buy

I am very pleased with my new camera, although I’ve only shot about 200 pictures so far and not in every condition. I took a bunch of shots out on the water on a very blue, sunny day and was extremely pleased at how well they came out. The zoom is fantastic. My favorite feature by far. The only feature I’m not fond of is the flash and the fact that you have to manually turn it on before you can use it. After using a point and shoot where the flash was 100% automatic, it is difficult to remember to turn the flash on before you take the shot. This is my second Pentax camera and I would definitely recommend this one to anyone.
