Hi Guys, juz wanna share some opinions abt my KX. This is one of those rare occasion where it's not a canon!
The KX is quite pretty in white and seems to possess all the features that needed.
AF is pretty fine, similar to my eos1000d. I m generally a single point AF shooter most of the time, so the much talked about 'no active AF point display' is fin with me. of course it better if they offer it!
Nikon menu & buttons drives me nuts, but pentax menu layout are ez to learnt. So I got acquainted with it easily w/o reading in-depth of the manual.
After using various m4/3 cam, the AF comparatively is god-sent! like wat a dslr should be. it pretty much similar to my eos 1000d. AF is fast but a little louder.
One of the key feature is the 4.7fps burst mode with 17 frames. but i only managed 3 frames !!! what happened? I found with lens distortion/CA correction turned on, it only shoots 3 frames & stopped! A real waste, i think as i cant leave them on all the time. Let me know if yr cam behaves any differently!
batteries AA type, which i am not very excited about, but not a deal breaker for me. will tell more aft a week of usage.
Viewfinder seems a little dimmer/smaller than my eos1000d.fyi, i am not a spec wearer.
Ergonomics are fine, feels more solid than the 1000D.
One thing I love my eos1000d is the self timer wif burst mode, so kids love to shoot themselves jumping/leaping zany style. for the KX, i guess need to rely on a remote.
Another reason to like the KX is the in-camera effects much like my olympus ep1/epl1. this is fine and works very well.
