Pentax MX-1

The Pentax MX-1 is the first compact camera I've kept, even though it is obsolete.

I like Pentax's menu system; it's so fast and intuitive. I love the brass top and bottom plates, and the direct exposure compensation dial. Most of all, I love that LENS! 28-112 f/1.8 - 2.5. It's sharp corner to corner, and I'm finding that the lens is so good, it largely makes up for the fact that its sensor is only 1/1.7".

Build quality is on another level, compared to most compact, fixed lens cameras.
