Pentax K-x (white, with 18-55mm DA lens)

THE GOOD: Very good noise profile; nice-size viewfinder for its class; relatively speedy. THE BAD: Doesnt display AF points in viewfinder; no HDMI connector; slow Live View autofocus; mediocre LCD; unreliable image stabilization. THE BOTTOM LINE: A fast, inexpensive dSLR with better-than-average low-light quality, the Pentax K-x nevertheless has some flaws, such as unreliable image stabilization,...

DCRP Review: Pentax K-x

The K-x is well built, feature-packed, responsive, and a great value for the money at just $649. And it takes very good photos, too. It has its share of flaws, but the list is fairly short. The most annoying things about it are the lack of AF point illumination in the viewfinder, a mediocre LCD, and a tendency to clip highlights. Despite those issues, the Pentax K-x is a fine camera, and a great...

Pentax K-x Review

The Pentax K-x is a compact, beginner-friendly DSLR. Though similar in size and shape to the K2000, it shares some of the features of their pro K-7. Unique functions like in-camera HDR processing and continuous shooting up to 4.7 fps should come at a premium, but the competitively priced K-x proves itself as an excellent value.
