Have an Olympus E620, a Canon 450D and I have to say that I prefer the photo colours of the Pentax especially on Portraits.The additional bonus of using the Old Pentax lenses(with manual focussing)means you can get some truly remarkable shots for a very limited budget.Picked up a 50mm f1.4 and I have photos as sharp as my Olympus 14-54 lens which cost some £400 !!There's really nothing I don't like about the kit and I feel it's every bit as good as the Canon brand with much more natural colour rendition.
This is my first DSLR so I am not well placed to comment too much on all the features of this camera. What I can say is it's a great value package that takes really nice pictures- even in 'auto' mode (hopefully I'll move beyond that soon lol) It looks good, is a nice size, and it's pretty compact compared to others I looked at- feels well made too. The manual is very in depth and looks like it explains in good detail the various functions although it's fairly lengthy so I have not read it all yet. If like me you are new to 'serious' digital photography, I don't think you could go far wrong with the Pentax K-X, especially since there are some really good deals about on them.
I'm new to DSLR having had 'automatic' digital cameras for the last 20 years... but an old film SLR before that. I love the low light capability of this camera! Not really got my head around all the other features yet; and using the tele lenses is going to take some getting used to, for bird shots etc; but I think I'm going to enjoy it. Good price on a previously-little-used item.
This camersa is a half way house betwen the old 35mm and the full Automatic Digital SLR camera, so you still have to manually adjust the zoom to capture the correct picture. I prefer this as the fully Auto cameras sometimes either restrict the size of the picture you want (landscapes, etc.) or give you a greater area picture when you want a real close up. All the f stops are handled automatically once you have the set up you want. Quality camera.
