There are some cameras that don't "click" with the buyers on release, but afterwards their qualities become appreciated and they become sought after classics. The MX-1 is one of them - I use mine pretty much all the time, wherever I go.
Best regards, John

Really like that image Andrew - one of those that there is much more to than you first see and it really draws you in.
The MX-1 is the one 'that got away' for me - I have never even seen one in the flesh but have seen a number of great images taken on them.

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

It's more than just passable Andrew, it's a lovely shot, full of interest and character, one to be proud of I would say.

Probably I do. But whether it's camera related I couldn't say
No, all I'm saying is that because an MX-2 hasn't surfaced doesn't mean it never will.
We've perhaps become too conditioned to an annual release of upgraded models of 'everything' these days.
So what I'm saying is that while the Earth still spins and the Sun stays lit, there's always a possibility.

I hope Pentax/Ricoh are reading this and doing something now to make it a reality soon.
Cheers.

P.S. Great image, Andrew.

Clearly a capable camera and in very capable hands. Lovely portrait.

Certainly doesn't compare with Olympus OM-D cameras...
I finally managed to get my hands on an Omd-1 which is outstanding...ease of use (although very contrived menus and settings)
Results are way above any Pentax compact or mirrorless I have tried (Q10, Qs1, MX1, K01 and VS20)
If Pentax produced such a beast with more friendly menus I'd sell the olympus tomorrow 😊

So how many systems are you running?
Pentax Q; Pentax K; OM-D. You must have a huge gadget bag for that lot before you load any lenses!

The RAW file from that tiny sensor has been poked, prodded and generally abused in Elements 11 to produce this, I think, quite passable portrait.
Beats me why there was never an MX-2. Imagine a 1" sensor, a faster processor, touch-screen and viewfinder.
