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...

Nice..... real nice.

Strengths: 12.4 Mega pixels....11 point Auto focus.....HD video recording! Face detection (up tp 16 faces). Shoots 4.7 Frames per second! Very solid and comfortable build in your hands.

Weakness: Not weather proof like the k-7.

I'm just a person that wanted to take some nice pictures of the family, and surroundings. Well let me just tell yah i'm glad i chose this camera to do that for me. Pentax Kx is amazing for the price!

Pentax K-x (black, with 18-55mm DA lens)

THE GOOD: Very good noise profile; nice-size viewfinder for its class; relatively speedy.

THE BOTTOM LINE: A fast, inexpensive dSLR with better-than-average low-light quality, the Pentax K-x nevertheless has some flaws, such as unreliable image stabilization,...

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...
