Sorry to be rude, but "high grade design" with crappy 200000 pix viewfinder and no RAW... really? Pentax X-5 was announced approximately two years ago and I don't see much (if any) improvements except longer zoom.
X-5 is currently 179 eur in Estonia, XG-1 price is announced 299 eur.

The reason for branding it Pentax is explained in a sentence in the international press release: 'It boasts a stylish, high-grade design resembling PENTAX-brand SLR cameras.' So it has to resemble a Pentax DSLR, hence the Pentax name on top of other details.

What confuses me about this is that I thought Ricoh was going to have
the Ricoh brand on compacts and the Pentax brand on SLRs. I wonder why
they decided to call this one a Pentax.
