I tried a bit more, and looks like the "underexposed" images I mentioned are due to the fact that they were actually very underexposed. Not all images had this problem (which, as someone mentioned above, is more to do with the user). The confusion was because of a few threads earlier...

^^^ Default is the wrong word. I am looking for "typical" values, and color profiles and settings people generally use with the k-x and ufraw. I see that in ufraw, if I set the auto-exposure adjustment, then the pics look better. Is that what I should be doing to process the raw images ...

Hi, Could someone please share settings for processing PEF files from Pentax k-x properly ? The default values seem to cause "underexposed" images. Any tutorial/quick how to would also be great. I tried searching on the internet, but couldn't find any satisfactory links which explain...

Asked someone to pick up the k-x with 18-55 and 55-300 :) Is there anything else (accessories, etc) I should ask them to pick up from SLR Rev ? * Eneloops I have mentioned * Camera bag - what would be the smallest, cheapest bag available to hold the above kit comfortably ? Where will I...

No :) Unfortunately, I can't bargain over phone, or get someone to go there every 2-3 days. That is the basic problem. I can finalize something, along with indicative price, and then ask someone there to pick it up. Hence asking around so much here.

They are, as per this link. Or maybe I am missing something ?

Thanks folks. So I read the threads on Bally, and the fact that SLR Rev prices for k-x are the cheapest. Should I go ahead and ask a friend to get the camera from SLR-Rev ? Reason for asking : Not sure how good/bad the After sales support (in case of warranty for 1 year only) is. I...

SLR Rev prices looked best (I checked with them). However their price for kit 3 (18-55 + 55-300) was on the higher side (1081 SGD). Any chances of this reducing drastically, or being less in some other reliable places ? If not, I will go with this :) (As mentioned, problem is with getting...

Thanks Hitendra, but if I buy 55-300 out of kit, it is much costlier. Buying it with the kit is best option (even at US price, 55-300 is costlier than what I would get in this kit). On that note, any online shops in singapore to buy from ? I checked MJ, but their prices seem on the higher side.

Shipping = Free (will have it picked from the store and delivered in person by some friend) GST - I understand. But if you look at the above, even without GST the price for this kit quoted is 15% higher. While for body only or the 18-55 kit etc, it is 5-7 % higher (excluding GST). Also...

Hi folks, I am from India, where Pentax, unfortunately, does not have retail or service presence. Planning to buy from Singapore, but I am finding quotes in the price guide to be quite high (25% higher than USD prices). I contacted couple of shops (MS Photo, SLR Rev), and SLR Rev quoted...
