I have just bought the MX1 and love it, its amazing how much better the quality of the pictures are than cameras using a four thirds sensor - (see comparison between MX1 and Olympus EP1 even the Pentax APS-C cameras in the review). It makes the Ricoh GXR with P10 look really awful!!
I'm seriously thinking that big hulking SLR's are a thing of the past.
It just reminds me old the old MX I used to have, a camera I also loved at the time, well done Pentax.

Just posted: Pentax MX-1 review
We've just posted our Pentax MX-1 review. Designed to recall the golden days of camera design, the Pentax MX-1 features a bright F1.8-2.5 28-112mm equivalent zoom lens, a 12MP 1/1.7" sensor, and a 3-inch, 920K-dot tilting LCD screen. Brass plates top and bottom are a minor feature of the MX-1 that Pentax was nevertheless careful to highlight as giving that old camera feel, even showing signs of wear over time. A retro look and feel is great, but does that translate into a good camera for modern times? Click the links below to read our review.

"The MX-1 shares a lens (and probably sensor) with the Olympus XZ-2: a 28-112mm equivalent zoom with a relatively bright F1.8-2.5 aperture across the zoom range."
Do you have this infromation from Pentax that they share the same lens design?
Who did the lens design?
A third party developer. Both Olympus and Pentax used same source to procure parts they used in assembly of the XZ-2 and MX-1. They also felt feee to tweak certain parts for their distinctive use.
Interesting so it's really an OEM lens (I've seen quite a few patents from third parties for very similar lenses).
I'm suprised that for a top end compact they're not doing the design in-house. I guess they save money and put that into the brand.
Olympus and Pentax add value through other elements of product design, and put more efforts in projects that demand more serious innovation. But lets face it: both XZ-2 and MX-1 are such good compacts with very refined and evolved third party design that one must try really hard to make a horrible shot with them.
Choosing between them is more a matter of personal taste and style than a matter of function or image quality. Style — and that is becoming more and more the only real distinction between products today, which all do their job well.
Sharing of lens designs has been going on forever. I clearly remember this one from 10 years ago
Interesting review. I just clicked the comparison-button and added the Lumix LX7. The comparison indicators of this two "Premium Enthusiast Cameras" show nine of the green bars out of eleven (I skipped the value-bar for good reasons) with yellow tips in favour of the LX7, one with the same rating (Build quality) and only one (Flash performance) with a better result for the MX-1.
Taking into account that these are comparable cameras and even in competition with each other it would be interesting to get some transparency how the score of 74% for the MX-1 in comparison to 75% for the LX7 has been calculated.
I am just questioning the lack of transparency - my favourit cameras are the great (but larger) products from Fuji and Olympus, so I do not own neither a LX7 nor a MX-1.
Best regards, The.Lastunicorn
Or, you could ask: "Why Fuji x20, that got 77% and reviewed as better camera with better quality photos vs Fuji x10 (76%), appears worse on the same "comparison scale"? More specificaly, x10 gets more marks for: Exposure & Focus Accuracy; JPEG Image Quality; Low Light / ISO Performance; & Optics". But... x20 has better RAW Image Quality.
I guess, as probably everywhere else, there is too much subjectivity and politics involved in all these reviews and final marks.
Trying to look like old Pentax camera. Fuji and Olympus are using their own old designs too.
I don't get it. Its yet another 1/1.7 with fast lens and it costs 500 bucks. Why would you get this instead of an old RX100 with a 3x bigger sensor, for just a little more cash?
Alternatively, how is this different or better than the XZ2 or LX7?
In the US, the MX-1 is $399. The RX100 is $650, and the RX-100 II is $750, a significant difference for slightly better to a good deal better IQ depending on who you ask.
For some, better high ISO ability or DR is not a primary concern. If it were, everybody would shoot FF or APS-C and the RX100 wouldn't stand a chance against small m43, APS-C or FF cameras.
Many people only shoot near base ISO where IQ differences are minimal between these models. As always features, price and the types of images people plan to shoot are the more important concern than sensor size.
The XZ-2 is $599 for slightly more features but essentially the same IQ and body size.
because it has a faster lens on the long size, it looks gorgeous and has the brass plates.
Looking at the test scene comparison, Lumix LX-7 is rubbish beyond ISO 200, while the Pentax actually is usable at ISO 800/1600. I'd get a second hand m4/3 or NEX personally however. To me the era of tiny sensors is dead. The Sony 1" sensor in the RX100 is the new entry level. Well worth the extra coin. I do like the idea behind the MX-1, but it should have come 3 years ago.
not 10 FPS!!!
I believe it is closer to 5FPS in jpg, with a total of @ 10~12 depending on size
Lots of comments about the size of the MX-1 but it's about the same thickness as the LX7 and XZ-2, mostly because of the tilt-able LCD and large aperture zoom.
The Ricoh GR or Coolpix A managed to fit APS-C sensors by using a fixed lens. The RX100 manages it's small size by using a slower optic.
But the general trend of miniaturization for cameras is about convenience, not performance, ergonomics or usability.
Tiny, pocketable cameras are great for transporting terrible for shooting. Slower lenses, cramped or non-existant buttons. For adult male size hands many of today's "compacts" are simply too small to operate comfortably.
MX-1 and iPhone
Re lens design: Both Pentax and Olympus use third party suppliers to furnish their entry level offer.
Third party suppliers provide them with components and solutions which Olympus and Pentax buy, upgrade, tweak, and brand as they please. It is much cheaper like that, and involves less R&D cost. For example, Pentax has opted to change optical formula a little for its first prosumer camera.
Olympus XZ-2? Olympus by name and looks, not by components. Same for MX-1.
Sorry, but if it has no viewfinder and isn't a view camera it's simply a non-functioning smartphone. Even if it looks as if it was designed by a six-year-old. I predict that Pencoh will sell up to a dozen of these.
True MX-1 users won't be able to hold it up to their faces to make pretentious self-portraits, but just like 99% of compact cameras, just like the RX1, XM-1, RX100, Rollieflex or whatever other camera you want to name, it has a VF. Just not an eye-level VF.
yes, it's definitely NOT one of these
Take Sony sensor, Olympus lens and Fujitsu (not Fujifilm!) processor, and you got yourself a Pentax camera.
BTW, looks like they have lost their lens-designing capabilities completely, WG-3 also has a lens from Olympus, and before that they released SLR lenses designed by Tokina. :(
From the review:
>The MX-1 shares a lens (and probably sensor) with the Olympus XZ-2: a 28-112mm equivalent zoom with a relatively bright F1.8-2.5 aperture across the zoom range.
I think you'll find that the two lenses are not quite the same, though their overall specifications are undeniably similar. I believe the XZ-2 has 3 aspherical elements, the MX-1 has 4.
The MX-1 lens f1.8 to f2.5 !!! 28 to 112mm
Looks identical to the Olympus xz-2 lens.
Are Pentax using the Olympus lens ?
" Designed to recall the golden days of camera design"
What golden age? Certainly not the golden age of the ME Super for example. This thing has no pentaprism, not even an EVF, but it does have all the usual useless gimmickry and stupid great display so beloved of the gear heads and newbies. Come on Pentax give us a real 'golden age' digital camera. You know you can do it.
That would look very different and be much much more expensive. But sure I would like to see their best. Considering 645D, it might be pretty impressive thing..
Why no pentaprism housing with EVF?
It looks like brick design
They could have made it into a very competitive camera, but it isn't. The only thing they can play around with is the price. They didn't learn from the K01 disaster.
The "K-01 disaster"? That's subjective, at best. K-01 is the only Pentax-mount camera I have kept... For its concluding price it is an extremely powerful camera.
RStyga, the reason you could've bought it for such good price was because it was a sales disaster.
Aren't _these_ the golden days of camera design? Features, functionality, optics, and prices that photogs of previous eras could not even imagine. Nostalgia is one thing, but there's a reason that we don't all shoot manual focus rangefinders or big 4x5s and carry a lightmeter and exploding flashbulbs.
the problem I found (probably not in Japan or US or EU) to use film camera is not with the camera, but with the film. It's rather hard to find celluloids except in big stores at big cities.
I love my film cameras and that's my Pentax MX and Hasselblad 501c. I like caring that hefty camera with my incandescent/flash light meter in my other hand. That setup is great for people who like to take one perfectly exposed photo instead of random 100 photos hopping that one of them is good.
I even use the lightmeter with my DSLR. Another benefit of this old cameras is that the viewfinders are unmatched by today's cameras. The MX viewfinder has close to double the real estate of modern FF DSLRs.
I shoot film (4x5 and 8x10 large format) but was shooting 35mm film up until recently. I can't say I've ever experienced problems buying film. It's available almost everywhere.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not disparaging old cameras. But there is an awful lot to be happy with in the current ones.
If only it had a VF. It's a neat camera to handle. And very good-looking IMHO (of course the purist users of DPR would not be influenced by looks in the slightest ... :) )
Boy...these were the most how should I say it nicely.... uninspiring samples ever from you guys. What happened to gorgeous London samples of yester years. Seattle is just not that picture-friendly? If there are no more interesting subjects to shoot, at least find some attractive people to take pictures of!!!! Sorry if I sound harsh, but I used to love the samples when they came from London. These days I don't even want to open the samples anymore.
The London samples were years ago in Phil Askey days. But Washington State has tons of places like Mount Rainier for landscape and nature photography. Everybody has different interests. Some people want to see Tower Bridge from all angles, some not so much.
But the original Pentax MX-1 Preview Gallery has other types of images with some interesting landscape, mountain images done somewhere in Washington.
MX-1 Preview Samples (copy paste link below)
Seattle is 162 years old with mostly modern structures, and London is many thousands of years old. I'm told it was very easy to walk out the door from DPR's office and get great shots of London's many landmarks, at least when weather permitted. Seattle has very nice vistas as well, but they're not just outside the office. We do our best, but the days of easily accessed London subjects are in the past (except for Andy Westlake). We'll continue to try to improve our galleries, but I believe the more important mission is to produce more reviews more quickly so you can pick the right camera to make great art.
It's never easy to get great shots, wherever you are, but the point here is that these are review samples galleries designed to show off what the camera can and cannot do, in the context of a detailed review of its various functions and features. We do our best to get interesting shots on every camera we review, but we have strict rules about what we include in samples galleries (for example no post-processing except for occasional RAW images) and we do not generally have the luxury of vacationing to amazing places to take the pictures.
And to anticipate someone's next point - although we have on occasion lent products to other photographers for certain articles., etc., we do not normally have the luxury of doing that. Timing is an obvious reason (it's a logistical nightmare, juggling cameras between the studio, us and third-parties), but also strict loan agreements with manufacturers who lend us their cameras and lenses for review.
In the same vein - most shots tend to be at base ISO and those at higher ISO tend to be of subjects that mask the noise so we get a warped view. Naturally the manufacturers want their product in the best light ('scuse pun) however all cameras have this so it is no surprise, a testing scene would help me discriminate between cameras. Is that not the purpose of this site?
David Fell, You are correct, there should be more night/high ISO shots, but please refer to our Studio Test Scene. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentax-mx-1/8
There are also a few high ISO shots on this page: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentax-mx-1/6
A nice-looking and solid performing camera without a doubt, but nothing to really set it apart from its peers.
As trollish as that sounds, having handled the camera I'm tempted to agree. Not on my wish list.
I can't disagree with you. Took a look at the MX-1 sometime ago and it look so clunky. Wonder what Pentax is trying to do. However, the K-5IIs is so much better. Strange!
The best small sensor camera is still the Lumix LX7. The lens is so good it can outresolve the sensor. Good price too.
LX7's only down to $350 or whatever because of it's age and because a replacement is probably due sooner rather than later... Which doesn't take away from it's value right now.
Not ugly at all, IMHO. Other than the X20, it's about the nicest looking compact on the market. The fantastic Pentax UI and IQ don't show up in specs.
Camera bling (copy paste link)
Looks like a neat camera. Too bad they couldn't squeeze a larger sensor in there. Not the same size, but an Olympus E-PL1 with kit lens for less than $200 is a compelling alternative, as is a Samsung NX100 with kit lens at the same cost.
MX-1 will pound any 12MP m43's with kit lens into dust. Sensor size is NOT everything.
As will the near identical XZ-2 - So don't think I am being anti-Olympus ;) Having owned an E-P3, E-PM1 and E-PM2, unless you are putting some nice nice glass in front of them, don't bother, this is better.
And nice glass is either gonna come in the form of prime lenses that cost as much as the camera or in the form of $1,000 zooms with f/2.8... This is what everyone crying about sensor size doesn't get, the RX100 isn't magic.
Sure it was a gamble by Sony and it's a nice camera, but the tradeoff they made as far as sensor size vs lens was pretty much the only permutation left that nobody else had tried... It didn't involve some sorta breakthrough in making electronics or lenses smaller, nobody had simply been willing to go for that exact combination (specially the bean counters at any of these companies I imagine).
No one's gonna be able to magically break the laws of physics and release a camera with a 1"+ sensor and a retractable zoom with a large aperture throughout it's focal length, all while packing it in an RX100 sized body (or even an LX7 sized body), at least not barring any huge breakthroughs in lens design (liquid lenses maybe?).
Big camera, small sensor. What a waste. Fanboys will defend it. The samples look average.
Fanboys don't need to defend anything: the MX-1 got the same exact "Silver Award" as the slippery little bar of soap with the slow lens known as the RX100.
Fanboys are defending it. It is a matter of taste but I'd take the bigger sensor over the faster lens. The Canon G15 has the faster lens but the Sony RX100 produces better images. The jury is still out on this new MX-1.
I believe camera manufacturer looking at the Fuji X series success, and pentax one of the manufacturer who want to get some part of the market.
for first try on this premium pocket camera I think it is a good trial.
I suggest pentax to keep improving this cameras based on the reviewer and user comments. don't give up if this cameras is not success.
Now it is the premium cameras time.
and many are using Fast lens.
For other manufacturer, I suggest also using the Fast lens instead of the slow ones for their premium cameras
More form and less function = piece of crap. For a body twice the volume of RX100, they couldn't fit anything more than a 1/1.7?
Nokia, SONY and Apple are coming out with big sensor smartphones, pretty soon any sensor smaller than 1" will be outdated. Why aren't more company copying SONY I have no idea.
The key point here is that the lens doesn't slow beyond f2.5 at the telephoto end.
To achieve that with a zoom lens attached to a larger sensor, the lens itself would have to be much bigger. Hence why the RX100 slows down to 4.9 at the telephoto end.
" Why aren't more company copying SONY I have no idea."
You could have omitted that though.
If Any brand can produce Good cameras with big sensor 1" or APSC with fast lens. I believe it will be success.
But we did not know who will produce it.
long time ago before sony releasing RX 100. many people say it is impossible, but it is possible.
So don't say impossible. let them find out how
@Beat Traveller
I want to see more company try. SONY tried and the result is a hot selling camera. I feel most company just want to repackage the samething. MX-1, LX7, XZ-2 and EX2F are just the same concept in different package.
@Gully Foyle
I don't get what you are saying. RX100 is the best selling large sensor compact.
So you want them to stop copying each other and start copying Sony. Got it.
B&H sells the RX100 for $648.00 After spending $399. on the MX-1 I still have enough left over to fly round trip to the Bahamas! I'll take some pictures on the beach in Nassau.
a) the RX100 and RX100 two are $700 and $800 cameras. Variety of price points is what makes the camera industry work.
b) with cameras smaller doesn't mean better, as to get the RX100 so small, Sony had to cripple it with a dog slow f/4.9 max aperture at 100mm. Which means the MX-1 actually has more shallow DOF than the RX100 at full tele, meaning for subject/background isolation, the MX-1 is actually more useful.
c) the RX100 gets less than 1 EV better high ISO performance. The number of people who need their P&S to produce clean ISO 3200 images is much less than you think.
d) at base ISO, the difference in IQ is not as dramatic is you think and for many the IQ produced by a 1/1.7" sensor is more than adequate.
e) one RX100 fanboy's "piece of crap" is another man's gem.
f) DPR gave it the same Silver award as the RX100.
g) m43 or APS-C cameras can be had for $800
h) if sensor size were the most important feature of a camera, we'd all be shooting FF.
"If Any brand can produce Good cameras with big sensor 1" or APSC with fast lens. I believe it will be success. But we did not know who will produce it."
The RX100 wasn't a magic bullet, it just explored one of the few permutations of sensor size vs lens aperture and focal length that no one had tried yet... To get a 1" sensor (let alone APS-C) with a lens that's faster throughout the focal length would simply require a larger body than the RX100.
There's no way around that with current technology, these companies have been designing and outsourcing lenses for a lot longer than they've been building sensors. Look at larger cameras, you can get faster lenses that are small and relatively inexpensive in the way of primes, but once you start looking at lenses with any degree of zoom range and a large aperture you're taking a big size penalty (proportionally larger between m43, APS-C, and FF) and thousands of dollars rather than hundreds.
Fujifilm X20 77%
Pentax MX-1 74%
This score I'm guessing is because of the excellent X20 VF, and really solid Phase Detect AF which really does work great.
RAW IQ is listed as considerably better for the X20, which has to be a mistake.
Logically the X20 should have better IQ, but having owned the X20 (and looking at the RAW comparisons), I'd give it to the MX-1 easily.
This may be because of LR, but at a certain point you get tired of waiting for LR to figure out X-Trans. Still it would be difficult to say the X20 has significantly better RAW IQ than the MX-1 (at least DPR's own RAW Comparison tool doesn't demonstrate their conclusion).
Both extremely nice cameras though but I had a bit higher hopes for the X20.
I agree, although I totally don't give heed to the score.
If the X-Trans holds any RAW potential hidden by the lack of proper demosaicing, it better be unveiled soon. Still, the high ISO comparison is an easy win for Fuji, but that was the case with the EXR sensors as well (X100). So, seeing how the Bayer AA-less sensors perform, I can barely justify the whole concept (less moire, better resolution etc.) I'd definitely get one, but not for the sensor.
Gully wrote: "Still, the high ISO comparison is an easy win for Fuji"
But it not a win for the X20 at all as DPR correctly has the MX-1 outperforming the X20 at high ISO (See Conclusion and Add X20 to comparison).
Look at RAW Comparison Crops, the grain structure on the X20 at ISO 800 or 1600 is much larger than the extremely fine grain MX-1 files. DxOMark has the MX-1 as one of the very best performing at high ISO for it's sensor size and it's easy to see why with the comparison tool. The MX-1 RAWs are sharper all around, but this could be ACR.
I can't say for RAW as it's obviously the weak point of Fuji and I imagine we both agree in that.
But I've seen high ISO, real world sample images from both and I definitely give the edge to Fuji. Blacks are blacks, colors are better defined and in general, for what most people do with small sensor cameras, the whole picture is much more pleasing. On the other hand, MX-1 has grain in solid colors, magenta-ish reds, and blue-ish blacks. Not so good for normal viewing IMHO.
Still the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 seems to be the best camera in this section.
The MX-1 seems to have better IQ, especially at higher ISO values.
Just add the other cameras at the graphical comparison. Unless those graphical bars are not comparable.
Used to have an LX7, it's a solid camera. It doesn't do all that well at higher ISO settings, and I prefer overall the colors from the MX-1 / P7700 cameras with the, AFAIK Sony 1/1.7" sensor, are more pleasing. But there is no right answer at this level.
O.K. but then why almost each bar in the graphical comparison (including the low light performance) is longer for the LX7? I would like to get the explanation from the authors of those reviews, how reliable are those graphical comarisons.
Interesting camera all around, but at that size, it should have a hotshoe, in my opinion. What's with those stap lugs in front like that? I'd like to sit with the designer and ask why, and how hard is it for these camera companies to understand some of us want complete and easy control. We want twin command dials. We know most photographers shoot in some automatic mode and don't need it, but there are enough of us that want the extra dial and Ithink it's pretty trivial to include it. Many of us would absolutely go bonkers with having to put up with three or four controls which some of the NEX give us or Nikon One. We all aren't Aperture Priority or Program mode beginners. Trade that EC dial for a second control wheel.
if you actually read the review it explains the idea behind the lug placement .
Aperture Priority AE is not a "beginner mode" at all, in fact it gets mentioned as one of the most often used exposure modes in all the photography magazine interviews.
Some cameras, like DSLRs with twin command dials make Manual exposure quite easy to use, but many P&S and MILCs don't have twin command dials (The Nikon 1 V1 has two dials, a rocker and a wheel around the four way controller so M mode is quite easy). But on cameras with one dial, it makes perfect sense to use A mode in combination with EV comp and AE/AF Lock.
Not again... The wants and likes of everybody!
If every manufacturer built products with everything every user has ever wanted, we would end up with only one product! Distinction, diversity, difference, plethora, variety etc.
Which word you don't get?
Pentax is definitely recycling old names from their past. The MX-1 used to be their all manual camera. Just waiting for the ME or ME Super to come out.
Or how about a Pentax LX with removable finder and screens as well as a replaceable sensor (removabe back on film). Was one of my favorite Pentax models. They just took too long to come out with a systems camera. Nikon and to a lesser extent Canon had already grabbed the Professional market.
Sooo many positives, especially on image quality. Shouldn't the overall score be weighted toward IQ? Also please include LOW LIGHT SAMPLES in the end section under sample photos. Think about it. A portable camerea is specifically for taking out on the town and shooting pictures without drawing attention.
Why do you keep talking about the Olympus XZ-2 but never post a review for it?
...maybe they realize is doesn't need a review to show how awesome it is.
Or maybe they realize that we don't need their review to know it's awesome, while cameras like the MX-1 need help.
The Olympus XZ-2 was a part of our Enthusiast Zoom Compact Cameras Roundup. It is a worthy camera that has a great deal of value. The conclusion named it the one of two 'best all 'rounders' alongside the RX100. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/2367736880/roundup-enthusiast-zoom-compact-cameras/8
Ordered mine in black from B&H this afternoon as it is @ $399.00
From the artical:
■Excellent image quality in JPEG and Raw
■Fast autofocus
■10fps full-res burst mode
■1cm Macro mode allows extreme closeups
■Raw files contain a lot of extra detail in both highlights and shadows
■Dedicated Movie record button
■Built-in sensor-shift and pixel-track shake reduction
But still just a "74"?
Must of been the missing hot shoe. :-(
The lack of a hot shoe isn't minor. I also wish they had kept the control ring around the lens. It's an incredibly convenient location. At least they gave it a proper rear control dial instead of relying on a ring around the directional pad. Those never work well.
And 1cm macro focusing is very common.
RAW provides to more detail and highlights for every camera.
G15 does high burst rate too and has a hot shoe.
With a bright F1.8-2.5 lens and great hi ISO quality you probably don't need a hot shoe. On this type of a camera how often will be used?
I never used external flash on compacts. For me, natural light is best.
But there is a built in flash, if need be, it can be used as trigger for external remote flash.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo
By KBB.com Editors
The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo, a smartly styled subcompact, offers excellent fuel economy, a long list of standard features and a bargain-basement price. The Aveo's appeal extends to budget-conscious first-time buyers, anyone on a limited income and unhappy SUV owners looking for an affordable and fuel-efficient way of getting to and from the office. Available as a sedan or sporty five-door hatchback, the Aveo's uncommonly high roof means tall occupants can sit comfortably in both front and rear, a major bonus for those who might stay clear of some small cars due to their cramped interiors.
If you're looking for budget-conscious, efficient basic transportation you'll like the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo. Practical, utilitarian and with no complicated high-tech systems to learn, the little sedan is also a good choice for RVers looking for a haul-behind car. Another plus: The high seating position for driver and passenger.
If you're seeking a small car that can also perform like a sports car, the Aveo's economy-minded engine and suspension may leave you wanting more. You may also find that properly-secured children are the best bet for occupying the rear seat. With the front seats all the way back, there is very minimal legroom for rear-seat passengers.
or 2010, the Chevrolet Aveo gets a slight boost in horsepower, up to 108, and a revised fourth and fifth gear ratio on vehicles equipped with the manual transmission.
Driving Impressions Driving a car as uncomplicated as the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo releases you from constantly checking the myriad of messages or dealing with the intricate controls found on the lavish instrument...
panels in pricier cars. With an eye occasionally on the speedometer, the driver is free to enjoy the surprising capabilities of the Aveo's miserly 108-horsepower engine. There is no available stability-control system, although anti-lock brakes (ABS) are an option. A slight lean is noticeable on corners taken at speed but the overall driving experience is precise and pleasant, with the car holding the line during straight, hard braking. As to be expected from this category of car, some tire, wind and engine noise is par for the course.Auxiliary Audio Input Jack
With an eye on youthful buyers who enjoy music 24/7, even the most basic Aveo has an auxiliary input jack for iPods and other music players and electronic devices.
Fuel Economy
Saving on fuel bills is high on many folks' lists and Aveo buyers are obviously looking for this benefit. The LT with automatic transmission rewards you with 25 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, depending upon road conditions and driving style.
With small touches of metallic grain, satin chrome trim and a faux leather interior, the Aveo LT retains an upscale look uncommon in this class. Front seats with tilt headrests, storage pockets in doors and seatbacks, a sunglass holder and six-way adjustable driver's seat are features you'd expect in a higher-priced car. The dashboard is simplicity at its best, clearly showing all the information the driver needs. The front passenger seat reclines and, with a trunk capacity of 12.4 cubic feet and rear 60/40-split seats that fold almost flat in the sedan and feature a flip-and-fold-flat design in the five-door, there's plenty of room for good-sized boxes or long, skinny stuff like skis.
ExteriorA full-featured economy subcompact built by General Motors Daewoo in Korea, the Aveo is a competently-designed vehicle with sheetmetal that blends smoothly together to present a neat package. The V-shaped hood and split grille reveal its Chevrolet heritage and emphasize its wide stance. Large "shoulders" over the wheels, oversized front and rear lights and a height of almost five feet give it the appearance of a larger sedan.
Despite its entry-level status, the 2010 Chevrolet Aveo offers a surprisingly high level of standard equipment, including front side-impact airbags, height-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, tilt wheel, interior releases for trunk and fuel door, variable wipers, OnStar and a rear window defogger. The upscale 2LT trim adds air conditioning, remote keyless entry with alarm, 15-inch wheels, cruise control and power and heated mirrors. Music lovers will appreciate the CD/MP3 player and 180-watt six-speaker system with auxiliary input jack. Power windows and door locks lift this model above many of its similarly-priced competitors.
The four-speed automatic overdrive transmission with Hold Control uses adaptive-shift technology. It helps to reduce wheel spin and loss of traction by allowing the driver to manually select and then hold a gear so that torque to the wheels is reduced, much as with a true manual transmission. Like audio controls at your fingertips? The Aveo LT has them at thumb level on the steering wheel. Other options include a power moonroof, leatherette seats, XM Satellite Radio, fog lamps, a rear spoiler, anti-lock brakes (ABS), an engine-block heater and an anti-theft system.
General Motors' 16-valve four-cylinder engine powers every 2010 Aveo and produces 108 horsepower. An electronic throttle control and variable induction system help maximize power across the rpm range for consistency and fuel economy, and the four-speed automatic transmission's Hold Control mode provides a pseudo-manual operation the driver can select for sportier or more controlled driving.
1.6-liter in-line 4
108 horsepower @ 6400 rpm

Review this carBy SillySmile on Thursday, February 27, 2014
I owned and sold this car
Reason: Traded up to bigger vehicle
Pros: "Mileage, dependable"
Cons: "Tires, O2 sensors"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I loved this car! It's little & gets great mileage. Mine didn't have any fancy features (as base model as you could get, manual locks, manual windows, manual transmission, no air, etc). It was a great vehicle for someone "starting over" and needing transportation. It started every time, kicked out hot heat on cold winter days and was one of the most reliable cars I've owned. The trunk, yes there's trunk, is bigger than expected. The back seats do a nice 60/40 split to make the trunk bigger. Down side: Tires for some reason don't last, however tires are cheap for this car. O2 Sensors had to be replaced, NOT cheap. If you need a car and don't care about technology & frills this is fantastic, dependable ride! I drove it all over Canada and the US! The only reason it was traded in was I wanted a bigger car."

"I originally bought this car because for the great gas mileage since I have a pretty long commute. But, it's sluggish and doesn't handle well in the winter since it's so little - all reasons WHY it has great mileage. I like the car and it has been reliable, but next time - I think I'll just pay a little extra for better performance and features."

"I bought this car as a grad student and it fit my budget. It gets me where I need to go, which, for me right now, is exactly what I need. I am a scientist and need to haul coolers and as long as no one needs to sit in the back seat, it hauls my gear just fine! There is some room in the trunk but it's not super-spacious. I've replaced the timing belt and had to replace a wheel bearing (the latter was under warranty). I also had an issue with the door lock falling into the door recently! It was an easy fix (for the dealer), but was quite annoying. My car is a manual and at 85K, I am surprised the clutch is still in good shape. (My previous car's clutch needed to be replaced by this time, but then again I had learned how to drive stick-shift on that car...LOL). I am happy with this car overall and glad I purchased it nearly 7 years ago. I'll probably be in the market soon for a new vehicle (maybe) but happy this one has served me well. The only major complaint I have is the way the windshield is shaped. There seems to be more of a blindspot in this car than in other ones I have driven. I'm used to it, but I can see it being problematic for others."

Epics based on biblical themes were popular subjects for grand opera, especially in the 19th century French repertory. Blockbusters composed by Giacomo Meyerbeer, but seldom performed today, inspired Camille Saint-Saëns to create the classic bible tale "Samson and Delilah," the second production in the San Diego Opera 2013 season.
Based on the Book of Judges, this opera has it all. A sensual Delilah seduces a super-man hero to reveal the secret of his strength so his enemies can capture Samson and condemn him to enslavement. The drama has plotting Philistines, the spectacle of a pagan bacchanal and a finale that literally brings down the house, in this case the temple, where the Philistines were mocking Samson.
How did the beautiful Delilah bring Samson to his knees? After his passionate rendezvous with the temptress, he was shorn of his long locks of hair, his eyes were gouged out and he was put in chains. In order to help her succeed in disarming the Hebrews' leader, Delilah was given one of the most exotic and seductive arias written for a mezzo soprano to lure Samson to confess his secret.
"Samson and Delilah" is sometimes branded as a one-aria opera, but there is plenty of other music providing rich melody in grand opera style. The plot takes place in Gaza in the 12th century B.C. where the Hebrews were haggling with the Philistines for their freedom. Saint-Saëns created an exotic score with the use of tonal variations producing an eastern oriental sound to enhance the elaborate settings and costumes.
Despite Samson's total defeat, he never loses his loyalty to his country and devotion to God. His hair begins to grow back as he begs for redemption for his vulnerability. The opportunity comes during a bacchanal in the pagan temple with all the exoticism of a sensual ballet scene. Samson's captors lead the blind giant into the temple to ridicule him and brag of their victory over his people.
While the revelers celebrate, Samson positions himself between two supporting pillars, prays for the return of his strength and brings down the structure to crush his enemies and the treacherous Delilah. It's a spectacle unequaled on the opera stage.
The opera premiered in 1877 at Weimar, Germany, with Saint-Saëns' good friend Franz Liszt conducting. The Hungarian composer was the toast of Paris as a performer who admired his French colleague's piano music and helped to get his opera produced.
Saint-Saëns is better known for his orchestral pieces. His only other opera still in the general repertory is "Henry VIII," seldom performed but produced by SDO in 1983 starring Sherrill Milnes. The composer was critical of his French contemporaries' work, especially Debussy. As French music moved into lighter more impressionistic style, the aging composer was left behind while admiring his champion Richard Wagner and the bygone days of Meyerbeer's era of French grand opera.
The composer continued his success as a conductor and even appeared in California to conduct the San Francisco Symphony in 1915 during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
The title roles in "Samson and Delilah" are sung by Bulgarian mezzo soprano Nadia Krasteva making her SDO debut. She performs regularly with the Vienna State Opera and the major opera houses of Europe. Clifton Forbis repeats his 2007 performance here as Samson. The American is popular as the heroic tenor in the demanding roles of Tristan, Otello and Siegmund in major opera houses.
SDO's Resident Conductor Karen Keltner leads the action from the orchestra pit, a position she has admirably filled since 1982 as one of the first and still few women opera conductors. She is teamed with Lesley Koenig who returns to SDO as stage director with credits of 30 productions with the Metropolitan Opera and three shared Emmy Awards.
"Samson and Delilah" is sung in French with English text projected over the stage. Performances at the Civic Theatre are: 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 16, Tuesday, Feb. 19 and Friday Feb. 22; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24. For ticket information, call 619-533 7000 or visit www.sdopera.com

Our small but perfectly-formed re-issue label specialises in maxi-length, mid-price CDs with in-depth notes and archive photos.
Subtitled 'the alternative folk label', Village Thing Records released two dozen albums and a few singles between 1970 and 1974. With strong national press and radio support, the label prospered with a unique and hard-to-pin-down mix of established names and newcomers, original singer/ songwriter/ guitarists, a few visiting Americans, and folk entertainers. Over the years, many of Village Thing's releases have gained cult status amongst collectors of '70s 'psych folk', often changing hands for high prices and now enjoying a big revival of interest. This 20-track compilation to mark the label's 40th anniversary is superbly remastered and comes in an environmentally friendly pack full of lots of old photos and detailed notes. It concentrates on the 'contemporary folk' core of Village Thing's output and includes many items on CD in the UK for the first time or never previously released. Featured are Wizz Jones, Derroll Adams, Al Jones, Dave Evans, The Sun Also Rises, Ian A. Anderson, Chris Thompson, Steve Tilston, Lackey & Sweeney, Tucker Zimmerman, Hunt & Turner, Dave Mudge and Dave Peabody
Rare psych folk from the Village Thing years, 1970-73. Following the release of his debut LP in 1969, country blues singer/guitarist Ian A. Anderson took a sudden left swerve into what now gets called psych folk or acid folk. Between 1970 and 1972 he released three albums on the now cult 'alternative folk' label Village Thing – the acoustic Royal York Crescent which showcased his interplay with guitarist Ian Hunt with whom he appeared at the first Glastonbury Festival; the folk/rock oriented A Vulture Is Not A Bird You Can Trust, recorded with a band including drummer Pick Withers, soon to be in at the start of Dire Straits; and Singer Sleeps On As Blaze Rages with steel guitarist Mike Cooper's Machine Gun Company and some meaty forays onto 12-string guitar. With 2010 marking the 40th anniversary of Village Thing, a new generation seeking out the alt.folk music of the '60s and '70s, a spate of books on the music and the era, and old vinyl copies of Village Thing albums being highly valued by collectors, here at last is the pick of those years, remastered from the original tapes, plus three previously unreleased tracks. It comes in an environmentally friendly pack full of lots of old photos, the original album covers and new anecdotal notes.
Beyond the bands from which she emerged, singer, guitarist, banjo and bass player Maggie Holland's solo career has spanned from the National Theatre's Mysteries in the '80s to BBC4TV/The Barbican's Folk Britannia in 2006. Some of her supremely crafted original songs like A Place Called England, Perfumes Of Arabia and A Proper Sort Of Gardener have been recorded by folk luminaries like June Tabor and Martin Carthy but she's equally adept at hand-picking and re-interpreting works by others, from the well-known to the obscure. Bones – attractively Digi-packed with extensive notes by journalist/author Colin Irwin and Maggie herself – includes eight of her best-known original songs and two traditionals plus others by Billy Bragg, Bruce Cockburn, Tymon Dogg, Bob Dylan, Dave Evans, Robb Johnson, Peter Rowan, Chris Smither, John Tams, Richard Thompson and many more. It's a maxi-length 'best of' selection from her albums made between 1983 and 1991, plus a few previously unreleased tracks and a new recording of her BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning song A Place Called England. The majority are on CD for the first time.
In the 1980s, all-star roots dance band Tiger Moth - Rod Stradling, Jon Moore, Maggie Holland, Chris Coe, Ian Anderson, John Maxwell, Ian Carter - took playing for English country dancing on a rowdy expedition to places it had never been before. Venerable English hornpipes went on a world cruise, Italian tunes got played as Tex-Mex polkas with a Zairean lilt and schottisches filled up with Greek riffs. In the studio as Orchestre Super Moth they teamed up with world music stars of the day like Dembo Konte, Kausu Kuyateh, Flaco Jimenez, Hijaz Mustapha and Abdul Tee-Jay. Completely remastered, this expanded compilation (a previous version came out in the USA in the '90s) includes the best of their two albums, singles, 12"s and rare tracks, plus a special 2004 remix by Simon Emmerson & Mass.
The late '60s and early '70s were a golden age for British folk guitar. It wasn't enough to be just a singer/songwriter; you were expected to be a really good guitar picker too. Dave Evans was not simply good, he was a real original. With tunings and chord sounds that nobody had produced before, an agile and bouncy picking style, a self-made guitar that rang like a bell, a nicely creaky and lived-in vocal style, and songs that told down-to-earth stories - well-observed little vignettes about real people - his 1971 debut The Words In Between was head and shoulders above many other now-cult artefacts from that era. This long overdue re-issue adds 5 tracks from his 1972 album Elephantasia.
Since 1987, Gambia's Dembo Konte and Senegal's Kausu Kuyateh have toured worldwide as the best international ambassadors of the kora, West Africa's multi-stringed harp-lute. Their duo albums have been acclaimed as the most accessible from this fabulous tradition: here's a 76+ minute selection of the best, including lots on CD for the first time.
"Nothing is ever quite the same after the first time you hear a kora played live in a West African setting. Dembo Konte was the musician who opened my ears, and he made these recordings with Kausu Kuyateh soon afterwards. They still sound powerful and raw, evocative and timeless." Charlie Gillett, 1998.
Throughout most of the 1970s, Hot Vultures - Ian Anderson & Maggie Holland - were one of the hardest working duos on the UK and European folk circuits with their uniquely English 'speed folk' approach to blues, old-time country and a few choice modern songs. For their three albums and whenever possible live, they also recruited many other excellent musicians of the day, including on these tracks Martin Simpson, Dave Peabody, Simon Mayor, Hilary James, Mike Cooper, Pete Coe, Chris Coe, Al Jones and more. Here's the very best of their recorded history: 23 tracks with all the original notes, a historical overview by Colin Irwin, and lots of old photos featuring decidedly dodgy haircuts and trousers...
In late 1989, kora kings Dembo Konte & Kausu Kuyayeh got together with members of the nigh-legendary 3 Mustaphas 3, English folk/rock accordeon maestro John Kirkpatrick and others to produce the hardkorabilly classic Jali Roll. The album was not only a big hit on the African/ World Music scene at the time, its ripples have had significant and long-lasting effects on roots music making in West Africa. Now it's back on CD with an extra track from the only live gig by the band.
Thirty years ago - was it really that long? - and well ahead of their time, the ECBB brought together well-known musicians from opposite corners of the English folk scene in an innovative blend, naturally anglicising blues and old-time country and finding new ways of looking at British traditional songs and tunes. These tracks from their two albums and one single feature the core trio of Maggie Holland, Rod Stradling & Ian Anderson, regular members Chris Coe, Sue Harris and John Maxwell, and guests including Nic Jones, John Kirkpatrick, Dave Peabody and Danny Stradling. Much improved from the only previous re-issue, this is all completely remastered from original tapes, extensively repackaged, and has replaced tracks plus an extra brand new recording featuring veteran English folk giant Bob Copper, to close the circle opened three decades ago.
The final recording by Madagascar's top band of the '90s was a special project exploring the ancestral Malayo/Polynesian roots of the Malagasy, with top Indonesian musicians guesting.
The previous from Tarika is a bright, upbeat, sizzling celebration of Madagascar's myriad dance styles where the Malayo-Polynesian roots mix up with influences from their big neighbour Africa.
We also sell a small selection of other CDs with a family, friends, production or compilation connection to fRoots or Rogue Productions.
Some wonky string band twanging and banging on old time nomadicised English country blues and death folk. Blue Blokes 3 are Ian Anderson (English Country Blues Band, Hot Vultures, Tiger Moth and more) on vocals, guitar and slide guitar, Lu Edmonds (Mekons, Billy Bragg's Blokes, 3 Mustaphas 3, Shriekback, PiL, The Damned and more) on vocals, cumbus, saz and guitar, and Ben Mandelson (Billy B's Blokes, 3 Mustaphas 3, Tiger Moth and more) on vocals, mandolin, baritone bouzouki, banjo, tenor guitar and electric guitar.
At the height of the British blues boom in the late 1960s, a handful of musicians emerged who re-interpreted the acoustic country blues of the 1920s and '30s. Championed by Radio 1 DJs John Peel, Mike Raven and Alexis Korner, and the music press of the day like Melody Maker, the most successful names were soon snapped up by major labels. So in the winter of 1968/'69, Ian Anderson assembled a lively country blues band for his debut album Stereo Death Breakdown, gigging exhaustively alongside household name electric bands and visiting blues legends like Mississippi Fred McDowell. Lost in later transit, the master tapes of Stereo Death Breakdown were long thought to be gone forever, but detective work by Fledg'ling Records unearthed them in the vault where they'd been carefully stored. So here, re-mastered from the original tapes and with two extra tracks from a contemporary session, is a long-lost British blues collectors' item, re-issued just in time for its 40th anniversary.

The third graders at Cedaredge Elementary School are starting several new units during the final weeks of this school year.
One of the most exciting is a state research project.
The students will be learning how to conduct research as they learn about the states of our country. Each student chose a specific state to study. They will be learning about the various state symbols, as well as the history of the state they chose.
They will complete a research packet, create a poster, design a "float" and give a speech about the state.
The students will then show off their hard work on May 10 from 6-6:45 p.m. in the Cedaredge Elementary School cafeteria.blog comments powered by Disqus

Public Administration Major Guide for 2008-2009
What is Public Administration
Public administration is a joint program sponsored by the Departments of Economics and Political Science. It is designed for students interested in government, namely in the formation of public policy and the practice of public sector management among many other areas of the interface between the public and private sectors. Public Administration as a discipline combines key elements of business administration, economics, and political science. Specifically, it involves the application of business administration principles in areas that are not characterized by the profit motive (government agencies and non-profit organizations), all within the context of existing political institutions. Public administration majors study such things as the management of governmental organizations, the art and science of public budgeting, and the design and implementation of effective public policies. The public administration major is ideally suited for students who enjoy economics, politics, and business administration, but who also have strong interest in public policy and public service.
Career Opportunities in Public Administration
Public administration majors pursue careers in a wide variety of areas in both the private and public sectors, the latter at the federal, state, and local levels. Examples include tax administration and budget analysis, city management, governmental relations within large corporations and industry trade associations, the management of nonprofit organizations, policy analysis in a non-governmental organization, and the functional areas of government such as education, healthcare, environment, and economic development.
Salary Trends in Public Administration
For salary information by occupation in the U.S. or for individual states, visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Compensation Survey website.
High School Preparation
High school students should follow a college preparatory curriculum and take their high school's recommended courses in Math, English, and Foreign Language. Appropriate electives include any business courses, as well as courses in computer software applications and written and oral communication. The College of Business Administration further encourages all high school students to 1) explore international business issues and opportunities, 2) participate in student organizations and clubs, and 3) volunteer in their community.
How to Major in Public Administration
All students admitted into the College of Business Administration are admitted as pre-majors and must earn admission to a major prior to the completion of 75 hours of coursework.
To earn admission to the public administration major, students must attain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 in the following coursework:
- Mathematics 123-125 or 141-142 (6 or 8 hours);
- Written Communication (3 hours from English 255, 295, or 355);
- Oral Communication (3 hours from Communication Studies 210 or 240);
- Accounting 200 (3 hours);
- Economics 201 (4 hours);
- Statistics 201 (3 hours);
- Business Administration 201 (4 hours)
Requirements for Public Administration
All majors in the College of Business Administration are required to take a total of 120 hours to graduate: 59 hours of general education courses, 14 hours of pre-business core courses, 23 hours of business core courses, and 24 hours of courses in the major. 18 of the 24 hours of major coursework must be taken in residence at the University of Tennessee. A minimum grade of C must be earned in every course counted towards the major. When students are admitted to a major in the college, they are required to have a laptop computer.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
Public administration majors have extensive internship and volunteer opportunities at the federal, state, and local levels in government and in numerous nonprofit organizations. For more information about available programs, visit the website of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration.
Highlights of Public Administration
The public administration program combines general education in business principles with specific courses in the economic and political aspects of government policies. Students choose electives to focus their interest or expertise.
Ready for the World
Seeking to instill a global perspective in all of its students, the College of Business Administration challenges undergraduates to develop the requisite knowledge and skills to prosper in today's global business environment. To help students meet that challenge, the college provides these critical tools: an enhanced core curriculum that covers international business topics in all relevant courses; extraordinary programs for international study and internships; and a unique opportunity to delve into the principles of international business through a collateral or concentration in international business.
The college requires all students pursuing a collateral or dual concentration in international business to have an international educational experience. Coursework in the international business collateral or dual concentration may be completed through a study abroad program.
Learn more about UT's Ready for the World initiative to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today's world.

Let me get this straight. We're supposed to be excited to see where this kid play his one season of minor league ball against scrubs?
@WCoastPro No one said that you have to be excited. You have all the right in the world to continue on being miserable.

How close, in feet, the spatial GIS depiction is to the actual location on the ground. There are several factors to consider in GIS error: scale and accuracy of map-based sources, accuracy of GPS equipment, and the skill level of the data manipulators. A value of '0' indicates no entry was made. This is the correct value when the COORD_SRC is another GIS theme (DLG, GCD, DEM) because the accuracy is determined by that theme. If COORD_SRC is MAP or GPS, however, a value of '0' indicates a missing value that should be filled in either with a non-zero number or '-1'. A value of '-1' indicates that the accuracy is unknown and no reliable estimate can be made.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.0
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well.
The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
