A camera is only as good as its' lens. An old saying in photography is: "it's all about the glass". Cameras are generally advertised as kits with the lowest cost lens attached merely because a lower price is more attractive to most purchasers. If you really want good images then spend a little more and make your photos stand out from the rest of those that purchase the standard kits.
The K-x combines solid photographic performance
with a wide array of advanced features at an affordable price. It
features PENTAX's innovative in-body Shake Reduction mechanism for
sharper blur-free images, 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, comprehensive
Dust Removal system, HD movie capture and high-speed continuous
shooting of approximately 4.7 frames per second in its ultra-compact
body. These features, along with the user-friendly PENTAX-original Auto
Picture mode and Live View with a choice of three different focusing
modes assure great results every time.
