I'm still learning how to use this camera. I had an old Super-program Pentax 35mm, moved to digital point-n-shoot, now the K-x. I have used my new K-x for landscapes only and have been on two trips so far. I think the resolution and clarity is very good, and the features and options are fantistic! Also, it works well with old Vivitar 28-85 and 70-210 lenses, just don't have autofocus. There seems to be a very slight problem with auto-exposure settings made by the camera, but the problem could be the operator, me. However, I learned long ago to bracket all important shots, so I still have some great photos. (BTW, I'm not using it, but what the heck is sensitivity priority? Manual doesn't explain it very well.) I have not used the Pentax 18-85 lens that came with the camera much, but it will only go as low as 4.5, so I'll just use it for point-and-shoot applications and movies to take advantage of the auto-focus. I think it's worth the extra $50 on the price vs. the body-only price.
The viewing screen is great, but hard to see in bright sunlight. It makes reviewing the pictures difficult in some situations. However, the viewfinder is blocked when you take movies, so I'm going to get a hood to go over my head and the camera (pretty retro.), or a big hat to shade the viewfinder when making movies outdoors. BTW, the quality of the movies is amazing.
A great camera at a great price! I am very satisfied.Get more detail about Pentax K-x Digital SLR with 2.7-inch LCD and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens (Black).
