Can you do a Head to Head with 4 or more cameras? I would like to see the Pentax X90 up against the Nikon P90, Canon Powershot SX1-IS, and the Samsung NX10.(Or other cameras with the auto wide-angle to over 600zoom) Test them in all areas and make sure there is a full “Zoom” test to see which has the least distortion as well as “Indoors” shots, Low light-Shots, and on the go HD-Movie shots, indoors as well as out-side. Actually I would like to see “all” cameras in this range tested at once to so we can see which is the best all around camera. As this will be my last camera I ever buy. I want the best camera that will do everything without changing lenses, as I always have the wrong lends on when I need to take a quick picture!! I miss a ton of beautiful shots because I’m handicapped and can’t move quickly to change lenses. So I want the camera that has the least “Purple” distortion at full zoom, The one that takes the best indoor-”Party shots” (like Thanksgiving Dinner, or the Grand-kids opening presents on Christmas morning.) Where I would most likely use speed shutter as well as HD-Movie mode, then I also want to take picture of Sunrise and Sunsets and closeup Flowers and outdoor landscapes, I also need to take close up picks of my “Art-work” Pens, oil-lamps, walking canes, etc. Please help me get the best camera. Thanks
