\nThe Pentax X90<\/a> is a very nice, capable megazoom camera with very good image quality.\u00a0 (It is a megazoom with its 26-676mm equivlaent.)\u00a0 I reviewed its predecessor, the Pentax X70<\/a>, on a trip to South Florida a couple of years ago and was quite impressed with the results, which have the beautiful, colorful “Pentax look” that I have long loved.<\/p>\n

The X90 records high-def video at 720p and 30 frames per second for smooth playback, a noticeable improvement over the X70.\u00a0\u00a0 It has an HDMI port and image stabilization.\u00a0 Below are a few pics from my Florida trip.\u00a0 Just travel shots, nothing to advance the photographic art but they will give you an idea of what the X90 is capable of.<\/p>\n

The world-famous Fountainebleau<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t know what this is, liked the look though<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took this one at the maximum zoom range- I was quite far away. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The only weak point is the battery life, which is a bit lower than some of its competitors.\u00a0 The solution is easy- pack an extra battery, they are small and light.

\nThere may be competitors with fancier features, but the X90 does a most admirable job of the most crucial task- technically excellent, beautiful pictures. If that is your primary goal then this is $265 well spent.
