A K-x may be appearing in our mailbox soon . . .
Thanks (I guess) for the recent and previous discussions of the K-x. I am about to buy one for my wife, sight unseen, and am trusting that it will suit her. Long ago and far away when we first met she was using a Spotmatic. I was using an ME-Super, convinced her to change so we could share lenses. As I moved sporadically through a few generations of Pentax SLRs and DSLRs, she gravitated toward P&S cameras which is a shame because she has a great eye for an image. My father-in-law passed away two weeks ago. During the last few months, one of the few things that caught his interest was playing with his Nikon D50 or looking at the photos Meg took with that camera. The Hassleblad gear went to Meg's brother, the Leica gear to her sister, and I convinced her to let the Nikon digital also go to her sister. "If you buy a Pentax, which is a better camera, you can use some of my lenses." "And it comes in pink!" I think we'll be ordering a black one soon from B&H. Hopefully it proves to be as suitable to her hand as the D50 was. The alternative was for me to buy a K-7 and pass a K20 on to her, but from all that you have said, the K-x smaller size will be much appreciated and may make the difference as to whether she actually uses it to any degree. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
