| Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 5.0/5 | | Ideal first DSLR: Rating: 5/5 |
The Pentax KX is my first DSLR, and I couldn't be more happy with it. The image quality is excellent, and the camera is packed with features - many of which I've still to explore fully, there are so many of them!
The camera is intuitive and easy to get to grips with - plus it comes with a proper printed manual, meaning you don't have to print out pdf files or lug your laptop around with you every time you want to find out about a particular feature.
The in-camera image stabilisation means you can use any pentax fit lens with the camera without having to worry about overly blurred images.
The kit lenses that come with this camera package cover a fantastic optical range, and are more than adequate for someone starting out in DSLR photography. The 18-55 lens is the one I use most of the time, with the 55-300 lens being perfect for sports and wildlife photography.
All in all this is a great DSLR - and comes highly recommended. | | Superb entry level dslr: Rating: 5/5 |
This is my first dslr and was an upgrade from the fantastic Fujifilm s9600. Being particularly interested in sports photography, the continuous shooting speed of 4.7 on this model was the main feature that attracted me. This is considerably faster than one of it's main competitors, the Canon EOS d500.
Still learning my way around the camera, I took it to the Dubai Rugby Sevens tournament last weekend. Lighting conditions ranged from bright sunshine, bright floodlights to low-lit nighttime. Steering away from the automatic exposure setting, I found the camera extremely responsive with very intuitive menus, the most important of which can be easily modified during use with your right hand.
There are many more modes and features on the camera, including HD video which I have not yet played with, but judging by the experience I have had so far I'm sure they will be easily accessible and produce stunning results.
The lenses I used were the kit lenses 18-55 and the 55-300 from the dual lens kit. Auto focus was speedy and accurate.
Having gone through the results on my computer after getting back I could not have been happier with the results. | |
