The Pentax MX-1 features a brass body with textured grips, a fast f/1.8-f/2.5 lens that features an effective zoom range of 28mm-112mm, and a newly designed 12-megapixel CMOS sensor. Pentax is touting its low-light sensitivity — the camera can reach a max ISO of 12,800, which is fairly impressive for a point-and-shoot.
