DCRP Review: Pentax K-x
The K-x is well built, feature-packed, responsive, and a great value for the money at just $649. And it takes very good photos, too. It has its share of flaws, but the list is fairly short. The most annoying things about it are the lack of AF point illumination in the viewfinder, a mediocre LCD, and a tendency to clip highlights. Despite those issues, the Pentax K-x is a fine camera, and a great... Top

Great DSLR
Strengths: compact, easy to use, aesthetics
Weakness: a bit small for my hands, but will fit most perfectly
This a great camera. I've been shooting medium format film for years and chose this camera to go digital. If this is what lower end DSLRs are capable of I don't see much of a future for film outside of hobbyists like myself. I am highly impressed with the image quality so far, much better than I've been able to get scanning MF negatives. The kit lens is amazing, much better than that provided by canon or nikon. I have a bunch of old pentax lenses that work with this body no problem (not true for canon or nikon). I like to use full manual mode including manual focus, so I don't see how one would improve upon this camera. more than 12 MP, RAW, DNG, and HD video. The AA batteries were a big plus for me as I will bring it backpacking and other remote places where recharging a Li battery isn't possible. Overall a fantastic camera definitely worth the buydig price. BTW I got the white kit and it looks fantastic.
Oh, if you're on the west coast, opt for the free shipping, it comes in the same time as the 3-6 day shipping.
