 |  Pentax MX-1 Review  Pentax's new MX-1 is a classically designed, compact digicam that provides high image quality and good performance with a sense of style. Featuring a 1/1.7-inch, 12-Megapixel backlit CMOS image sensor and a 4x optical zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.5, you will have no problems shooting indoors or in other low-light situations. A large 3.0-inch LCD screen, Full 1080p HD video capture and sensor shift image stabilization top off the technology of the camera, while its metal and brass accents will age and give a true classic look and feel over time. Looking at the MX-1 you will immediately notice how thick it looks and how heavy it is when you pick it up. It is definitely one of the beefier cameras that we have seen in a while, but it has a very sturdy feel that allows you to wield it with confidence. Its rubberized grips give you good control with one hand or two, and the tiltable LCD screen allows you to shoot at difficult angles with ease. The lack of an EVF or OVF takes away from the classic styling a bit, but we would not like to see the body get any bigger. Framing and viewing your images with the 3.0-inch, 920,000 dot LCD screen is not only easy in just about any lighting condition, it is also a pleasure. The incredibly high resolution allows you to see a great deal of detail while shooting. Pentax has also given you the option to display an electronic level and histogram for additional control and information. We did have a couple of instances of accidentally changing the Exposure Compensation dial with its location on the top edge of the camera... Continue Reading |

But, Adobe made a surprising announcement at their MAX conference and said that none of the Creative Suite offerings will be available as boxed products anymore, and that only subscription plans will be available via Creative Cloud.
