The excellent processing chain Pentax developed for the K20D and K-7 is simply having a field day with the much cleaner Sony sensor. And it's just a great little camera for a remarkably low price. There's nothing else on the market that offers similar performance for anything less than a couple hundred extra (the Sony A500 is the closest comparable camera, and last I checked was $250 more).
The K-x is simply a superb camera with very few warts. The only one I consistently see is that the metering is easily confused if run in multi-segment mode and underexposes by a consisten 1/2 stop or so in centre-weighted. -Adam On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 8:29 PM, Steven Desjardins <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, so we're all having fun with the inexpensive little Pentax that > has this annoying habit of producing fine images.
