Die Pentax XG-1 ist eine nur durchschnittliche Alternative. Sie besitzt einen guten Blitz, jedoch ändert dieser an einer wenig zufriedenstellenden Bildqualität jedoch nichts. Auch die Bedienung der Kamera ist nicht optimal gelöst.

Noch annehmbare sehr große, schwere Kompaktkamera mit Superzoom und elektronischem Sucher und eingeschränkter manueller Funktion. Nachteil: mangelhaft bei wenig Licht. Kamera insgesamt knapp befriedigend.
