I really like the camera, takes crisp images. I bought it and got some manual lenses separately. I would suggest using rechargeable batteries, as some models are known to have an issue where the charge runs out very quick. More info can be found about this via a google search. Mine had this issue. This can only be solved with a software update but you need the coupler/charger for this which is very hard to find). Good camera, would definitely recommend.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I already owned a Samsung GX20, which I am very pleased with, so why did I buy this? The GX20 doesn't do video, and I was looking for a video quality that would be superior to that delivered by my old Samsung DV recorder, to use to capture guests at my brothers wedding, and that I could use with all the lenses that I have accumulated since I bought my first Pentax, a second-hand 1961 S1 that I acquired more than 40 years ago. The reduced megapixels compared with the GX20 seem down to a small change in the aspect ratio. The pictures look just as good. The video picture looks really good to my eye. Autofocus doesn't work during video, nor aperture control from the camera, but a suitable manual lens allows smooth and silent manual adjustment. What's not to like?
Reviews in general were excellent for the camera. The features it has are very good, and for the price range this camera falls in, it is EXCELLENT value for money. I found the camera so easy to use and understand, and as a first time DSLR camera purchase, this was important to me. Best of all, the image quality is superb. I LOVE this camera and have found a new hobby for myself.
The pentax k-x is an excellent choice for a digital slr, i've used slr's for 40 yrs the last 5 yrs digital and the speed at which digital has replaced film has been amazing,I always choose pentax because of the quality of the build and performance not to mention the backwards compatibility with all old lenses (with certain limitations)everything about this camera shouts quality, the only thing you have to get used to are the AA batteries it uses which tend to increase the weight slightly but not by too much you also need to always take an extra set along...... but thats it, my last camera was the pentax ist and this camera is almost 3 times better plus I tried my neigbours olympus and a freinds cannon both of which didn't provide the sames quality pictures, this is a great camera.
