Full Aperture

I bought the Pentax K-x because I really wanted to own an SLR camera, but I didn’t want to pay the extremely high prices that all of the other ones on Amazon.co.uk were sold for. I knew that I was taking a risk, but after reading a couple of great reviews on it, I decided that it was the best choice for me. So far, it has not let me down at all.

I expected the picture quality to be nice, but I didn’t know that it was going to be so great in low light settings. That is usually what cameras that don’t cost thousands lack, but they got it right with this one. It is so nice that I am able to finally trust my camera no matter what the conditions are.

I can’t mention the pros without talking about the super low price that I got this camera for because in no way did that reflect the overall performance of this camera. Now I really don’t understand why some people choose to pay five or ten times more for a camera that can maybe do a little bit more than this one can. I’m glad that I didn’t make that mistake.

The camera itself is great, but the LCD screen should have been built a little bit better because you really can’t get a very good idea of what your pictures are going to end up looking like due to its low resolution. The pictures on the screen lack a bit of detail so I can never be completely sure that I got the best shot until I transfer them over to my computer. The good thing is that I haven’t made a huge mistake yet due to not seeing something on the screen before I accepted a shot.

It is easy to like this Pentax K-x SLR camera because it does what most of the other high end SLR cameras do and it came at a fraction of the price. The picture quality is great and I am sure everyone else who gets this camera will be as impressed as I have been with its ease of use. To me, this is an underrated camera that deserves to be in the high end category.
