Thanks (I guess) for the recent and previous discussions of the K-x.
I am about to buy one for my wife, sight unseen, and am trusting
that it will suit her.
Long ago and far away when we first met she was using a Spotmatic. I
was using an ME-Super, convinced her to change so we could share
lenses. As I moved sporadically through a few generations of Pentax
SLRs and DSLRs, she gravitated toward P&S cameras which is a shame
because she has a great eye for an image. My father-in-law passed
away two weeks ago.
My condolences. I hope that his passing was as timely and as easy as
possible on all concerned.
During the last few months, one of the few things that caught his
interest was playing with his Nikon D50 or looking at the photos Meg
took with that camera. The Hassleblad gear went to Meg's brother,
the Leica gear to her sister, and I convinced her to let the Nikon
digital also go to her sister. "If you buy a Pentax, which is a
better camera, you can use some of my lenses." "And it comes in
pink!" I think we'll be ordering a black one soon from B&H.
They come in black too?
Hopefully it proves to be as suitable to her hand as the D50 was.
The alternative was for me to buy a K-7 and pass a K20 on to her,
but from all that you have said, the K-x smalle
r size will be much appreciated and may make the difference as to
whether she actually uses it to any degree.
I just hope that you don't find it so nice yourself that she never
gets a chance to use it.
