Do you remember the Pentax MX1? It was a brass point-and-shoot camera that was beloved by many. It returned in popularity two years ago, and in many ways, it represents a time when cameras were just so much different. Truly, I wish that Pentax would make it again — but without a digital screen, the way so many point-and-shoot cameras are being made today. Seriously, the Japanese camera market feels very monotonous, boring, and not at all exciting. At times, it feels like the designers and product managers have brain rot because all they’re doing is consuming content on social media and Youtube.
