Meeting Charlie at 8am tomorrow morning to check out North Explorer Park Connector.
Actually, in the avery, I think you can shoot the parrots (not sure I named them correctly) without the fences and cages.
But I do agree that most of the birds are in cages.
I like city shoots too ... but never been a good street shooter.
So I am for anything, as long as I get to shoot, and I am not heading up North.
Hello everyone!
My first posting shall be in a Pentax forum!
Rather keen to join this december outing but haven't got my DSLR! (my first!)
kinda stuck between a k-x (esp. with the SITEX offer) or the k-r
and what lens kit to go for.
but thanks for all the amazing photos posted throughout this subforum!

The DAL18-55mm is a good lens to start DSLR photography with. For $599 the K-x should come with the DAL 18-55mm Kit Lens.
The K-r also comes with the DAL 18-55mm lens too.

The DA 55-300mm is one of the best cheap (i.e. consumer grade) 50-300mm zooms out there, plus its fairly compact and light.
The one that comes as a kit with the K-x/K-r is the DA-L version, which means it has a more plasticky contruction, but it should be optically the same. More importantly, getting it as part of the kit is extremely cheap (about $300 bux as part of a kit compared to about $600 if you buy the DA version from a shop).
I believe you won't get a lens hood if you buy as part of a kit, but thats a pretty minor point.
Do feel free to join us for breakfast before the outing even if you don't have a camera by then.

i think is better to go with k-r for new user... no point get k-x and regert later that missing a bit function for saving about $200... of cos if you are sure the the extra function you don't really need then go for K-x!
anyway you should be in time for the outing when you buy any cam during sitex time...:bsmilie:

So who should buy a k-x? so far I know k-x still punch a good fight on k-r especially when considering it's good (low) price... :think:

Among the two, chose the k-x since I'm a beginner and wanted to learn the basics first anyway... Photography is an expensive hobby, so I don't want to blow big bucks straightaway also. So far it's a pretty good dslr to start out with.
Then if better liao, upgrade to k-5! :bsmilie: By that time maybe got even newer and better pentax model liao... :think:
actually if you are really into photograhy... the best way to save is actually go for the best straight away... u dun lose money selling unwanted stuff...:bsmilie:

That's true~! :bsmilie: Maybe no confidence ba~ Realistically speaking, I still dunno whether I will be really "into photography" or simply just want better control in "photo-taking", just something I'll have to discover for myself along the learning journey.
That's why I think it's better to start with something I'll be comfortable with right away.
