Pentax is planning to roll out the Pentax X90 ultra-zoom camera, which is the latest upgrade of its previous variant X70, the first ultra-zoom camera of the group in the digital market.

The all new X90 is equipped with 12 megapixels 1/2.33 in CCD sensor with image stabilizer in it; it has a CCD look alike feel and gels best in the older X70. The sensitivity of the new model ranges from 80 to 6,400. Pentax has worked a lot on its sensitivity with an improvement after the X70. However noise, is persistent in the latest model.

The key attributes of the digital box includes 26x optical zoom lens which have a focal range of 26-676mm at f/2.8-5.0, equipped in a lightweight and compact body.

The added feature which makes the camera go gaga is the optical viewfinder embedded in it. It could be well adjusted so that the user can adjust the viewfinder's focus matching the eyesight.

The X90 super zoom includes all the manual controls, with shutter, in addition to the pre programmed auto exposure mode.

With many features the digital box imbibes automatic exposure, allowing the user to automatically trigger the shutter while taking the snap.

Earlier version, X70 has battery issue with it but as of now the X90 has approximately 50 per cent longer battery life span than its predecessor.

As of now there is no such confirmation from the group upon the X90's availability, or the expected sales churn out of the new leap.
