Hi,
I just entered the DIgital Single Lens Reflex realm, and I got this Pentax K-x as my very first DSLR
Very sulit bang for the buck DSLR, packed with features.

overall its nice, and very easy to use..
the only concern is the Battery meter,
its inaccurate, I tried using the Energize Lithiums, sometimes its green then changes to orange then green again..
but then the standard Energizer Lithium (disposable) has made up to 600 shots, 90% of the time the camera is in live view, but then again, Pentax should revise their standard of 1900 shots which is written in the manual,
I have yet to try it out using a NiMh battery, probably later.
then again the convinience of using AA batteries is really great.
here is a sample shot.
