Who could have imagined that the White Pentax K-x would be so popular? Sexy is a great way to describe this little digital slr.
But should you buy a camera just because it is sexy? Heck no. You buy it because it takes amazing pictures... and it's sexy.
Browsing the reviews, you will find all kinds of compliments about this small, yet stylish camera. Some of the buyers have been quite surprised that a camera so petite (and white) could do everything this one does.
Here are just a few of the reasons buyers have given for their amazement:
It can be used by the whole family, even the ones that are not adept at setting camera controls. Just set the camera on auto and it acts like a point and shoot camera. But it has one huge advantage over a digital compact - there is no shutter lag! This camera take great video! HD quality video at 1280 by 720, which equals cameras that cost three times as much. This is a great camera for a beginner, especially if you read the manual, which is extremely helpful. The camera actually "helps" you navigate through the menu. This is the best entry level DSLR on the market, by far! The advanced features, such as in camera processing spare you from purchasing expensive post processing software.
Some other perks that come from owning this camera include (but are not limited to):
Great image quality, even at high ISO. ISO goes up to 12800 which will allow you to take photos in very low light situations, like concert halls where no flash photography is permitted. 4.7 frames per second burst rate - this means the camera can take almost 5 photos in a second. Compare that to your basic point and shoot camera. It compares very well with the Canon EOS 500D (T1i) and Nikon D5000 which are much more expensive. An extra large 2.7 inch LCD screen with "Live View" which allows you to compose your photo without using the viewfinder. Many pros balk at using LCD Live View. They are accustomed to using the view finder, but point and shoot camera owners have come to depend upon an LCD. You have the best of both worlds in this DSLR.
So, where can you find this wonderful little entry level digital SLR? Maybe you will get lucky and find one at one of your larger department stores, but that would take some luck. You can't depend on finding the exact model you want in a brick and mortar building.
More than likely you will have to make your purchase online.
