if im not wrong both pentax and nikon got 11 focus point? even without 11 focus point there is the option of focus lock - keeping your shutter button half press while shooting @ AF-S(autofocus still for nikon....dunno what its call in pentax).
must ask the pentax user though...im not too sure if k-x have focus confirmation for manual focus...i think it should have. im quite sure nikon have though.
i read somewhere pentax has green hexagon when its in focus. nikon has a green dot.
im pretty sure k-x is better price from other threads in cs.
K-x Body only: $745
K-x w/ DAL 18-55: $800
K-x w/ DAL 18-55 + DAL 50-200: $920
K-x w/ DAL 18-55 + DAL 55-300: $1140
but u said must buy today....i think u will end up with nikon since all the k-x are sold out .:bsmilie:
if you ask me.i would grab k-x (despite me being a nikon user).
may I know where was this price taken from?
