About K-x

[banana0ne]

Pentax is just one simple and straightforward company, who manufactures and designs useable cameras. In which quiet shutter and AF is a luxury in which is reserved for the higher end only for in which I could say ain't really important for most of us because we are only after the IQ and that's why we have DSLR's.

I guess the reason for Pentax to design such is to make the camera to be simple, reliable and straightforward. no Flashy SDM, dampened shutter, and popup flash in which could make the camera more expensive and can make reliability issues in the long run.

Anyway, in the design phase they should have no problem in including such features as they already have it on k-7. but would you think that the price would be the same as offered now?:sticktong

BTW, i still prefer body based AF motor as it makes the lenses as small as possible. Basically I cannot imagine a DA 40 f2.8 pancake with SDM... hehe.

If that is inclusive of GST and with local warranty, then its the cheapest I've seen posted so far. Care to share which shop?

people think black look must be meaning more "solid" lo :bsmilie:

by the way, is the tamron 17-50mm f2.8 a good lens? If one were to search on it, it's a highly popular, affordable, general purpose fast lens, attaining cult status of the consumer zooms.

yet it has one major weakness: the gears are so loud it can wake any sleeping cat, and sleeping kids. :bsmilie:

yet that is not stopping it from becoming so popular. Point is: such things can be overlooked, depends on person..not fated lah, too bad

most silent and deadly is still manual focus, 0db noise. :bsmilie:

:cry: Bro, I am about to go for Tammy 17-50 and MF lenses.. Don't like that leh..

lol

The 920 was quoted w/o gst, with gst is 948, no batt, no nothing , only got kit lens


Just now, i bought my k-x kit black from manly dept store at 26 temple street for 950 with gst , comes with eneloop charger + 4 rechargable batts and 8gb sd card.

Then i add another uv filter for 12 only, screen protector for 5, total 967 with gst

The Sigma has a 18-50mm F2.8 which is good also or the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 which I used to own and it was good an bright indoor at 70mm f4.5 too . . .:devil:

967 w/gst is pretty attractive...

actually convinced my sis to 'invest' in a k-x last nite...

Got the the last BLUE kit from MS last nite (another 1 reserved) - 1000 w/gst (incl. filter / batts / 8gb / screen protector)

I think that's one should be for me then.... going to collect from MSC this afternoon.

But knowing me being fickle-minded sometimes, I might opt out ......... for K-7 of course!

 

[scorpioh]

k7 - Good choice.

 

[hamustar]

Those who got the Blue K-x....photos!!!! ....of the camera pls ;P

 

[banana0ne]

Red already in???

 

[dielah]

Lady boss of MSC also not sure when RED is coming in, got to ask MJ or other reliable sources here

But both BLUE K-X was snapped the day in arrived in MSC ... so i think she will place more stock soon...

Also saw a few K7s, K-x (BLACK) as well a few DA* + flashes

Will post a few pics once taken - but the kit lens is BLACK tho... not BLUE

 

[fengwei]

Red already in???

I heard the red ones will be in in about 2 weeks

 

[fengwei]

I think Kx might have hurt the sale of K7 pretty badly. Emjay has to have some promotion to push the K7 sale, like a bundle deal or something. Otherwise they are gonna have quite a few K7 stuck there

 

[woefulwabbit]

Maybe drop the price of the K-7
