I think I made the right choice with this camera. Add very good ISO performance to the shake reduction and you get a camera that's unbelievably better at handling dark environments than my 1000D was. ISO 3200 is about what I was used to ISO 400 being in terms of noise and I used to pretty much give up on photography mid way through dusk due to having an aversion to tripods. The colours and accuracy in brightness levels don't fall apart at high ISO either.
Sure I have given up on being able to use huge numbers of lenses but there's no shortage of fantastic M42s or K mount lenses, more than enough to keep me going for a long time. The following two pictures are both with the kit lens, ISO 3200 and 6400 respectively:

I have read many recommendations about the K-x.
And despite being a Canon shooter, I think you made the right decision. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I too have a K-x and find it a great camera. As for your Nikkors, pre-AI lenses mount directly on the Pentax bayonet, later lenses need the aperture ring filed down. _________________ My galleries

Thanks ludoo, although I wish I'd known this before as about an hour ago I went to the post office to ship off my beloved pre-AI 50 1.4. Plenty around though at least. |
