The Pentax K-x review is finished. :) Pentax K-x review

The iso is set to iso 200 for a reason. Base iso has a lower dynamic range than 200. ISO 200 hundred is the optimum minimum iso on your kx.

Thanks Ken

If it's anything like the K-r, don't hestate. I almost got the K-x but found I could afford the k-r. K-x is certinly one of the best reviewed cameras of the last year or so.

You said in your OP that you wish to shoot landscapes. Pentax are brilliant for that kind of use, as they are the most waterproof cameras out there (to my knowledge). I've been out in rain and snow with mine, and never had any problems, even when my friends pack up and hides their cameras from the elements. I would also invest in a sturdy tripod, as that's a "must have" for landscapes.

My first SLR was a Canon EOS 500n, which served me very well for a few years, but while doing the city & guilds course I was lucky enough to be 'lent' a Nikon FE (c.1977). I found the manual camera made learning the mechanics of photography so much easier, and I started getting better results from it. I still have the FE in my posession (it's not really mine though), which has been joined by...

I've seen a lot of mirror lenses on overstockers.com. I suspect that their wide barrels would make it difficult to connect them to some modern DSLRs with overhanging pop-up flash housings. When mirror lenses were popular (in the 1980's) cameras had pentaprism housings that did not stick out (far, if at all) beyond the front of the camera body. Professional DSLR's have their housings high above ...

3 weeks ago our Christmas presents to each other was a 5D Mark 2. Today I ordered us each an OpTech Pro Camera Strap, should be here tomorrow. The bank balance has been smashed so I think that will be it for a while.
