Recently I use the Pentax X90 Bridge. The results are excellent, and the optical zoom X26 remarkable. "Who can do more can do less" as the saying goes. And indeed, the X90 can ... far too much, in my eyes. Multiple options are often superfluous and only complicate the settings: Face Detection, Blink, and so on .. For me it is useless gadget. If we limit ourselves to basic options, it's more than enough to make beautiful pictures. At long focal lengths, the image stabilizer is effective. But the use of a foot, when possible; still the best solution to have clear shots. In summary, I do not regret my choice and recommends the purchase to anyone who does not want to carry an SLR and its heavy and expensive objectives.
