Manufacturer's Description

PENTAX K-x

An Entry-Class Digital SLR Camera with Sophisticated Features
The K-x combines a variety of advanced features and user-friendly functions to ensure an outstanding level of photographic performance within a compact, lightweight body.

The K-x design is based on the award winning PENTAX K-m, an entry-class digital SLR camera launched in October 2008 that gained popularity for its compact, lightweight body and simple, user-friendly operation. The K-x features a newly designed high performance CMOS image sensor and an upgraded filter function. It also features a whole host of advanced features such as live view shooting and movie recording, approximately 12.4 megapixels and high-speed continuous shooting. The K-x is the perfect camera for first-time digital SLR camera users, as well as an ideal backup camera for more experienced photographers.

2.7” LCD with Live View function Approximately 12.4 effective megapixels for true-to-life image reproduction
 The K-x incorporates a newly developed CMOS image sensor to assure high-speed image data read-out at varying ISO sensitivity levels. With approximately 12.4 effective megapixels, this image sensor can reproduce true-to-life images with fine detail and rich depth of colours. The K-x also offers a wide sensitivity range between ISO 200 and ISO 6400 and allows the user to expand the sensitivity range between ISO 100 and ISO 12800 via a custom function, giving greater creative freedom.

2.7” LCD with Live View function, and Face detection of up to 16 faces
 The K-x features a live view function, which allows the user to view the image on its LCD monitor during shooting. The K-x also offers a choice of three different focusing modes during live view shooting: Contrast AF, which optimises the focus based on the subject’s contrast; Face Detection AF, which automatically detects up to 16 faces, selects the main subject’s face from multiple faces, then captures it in sharp focus; and Phase Difference AF, which uses the AF sensor positioned in the camera body to optimise focus on the subject.

High-performance, high-speed PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) II imaging engine
Thanks to new technologies supplied by Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited, this new imaging engine offers greater data processing speed and enhanced capability to produce higher-quality images with richer, more accurate colour rendition, as well as faster transmission speed of movie data.

Compact, lightweight body
Despite the incorporation of the large 23.6mm x 15.8mm image sensor, the K-x is one of the most compact, lightweight digital SLR cameras in its class.

High-quality recording at 1280 x 720 pixels, with HDTV-proportion movie recording at 24 frames per second
 The K-x provides a movie recording function which captures beautiful, true-to-life movie clips in 16:9 high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels) at a frame rate of 24 frames per second. This extends the benefits of high-quality SLR photography to the world of movie shooting.

Pentax original

PENTAX-original Shake Reduction mechanism
works with almost all PENTAX lenses PENTAX-original SR mechanism for sharp, blur-free images
 The K-x features the PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism. This innovative mechanism extends its benefits to almost all PENTAX interchangeable lenses - even those designed for film-format cameras

High-speed continuous shooting at approximately 4.7 images per second
 The K-x’s high-speed continuous shooting mode records as many as 17 images (in JPEG recording format) at a maximum speed of approximately 4.7 images per second - the fastest of all entry-class models. The K-x also features a new, reliable shutter unit, which proved its dependability and ruggedness through a demanding action test of more than 100,000 shutter releases. Its top shutter speed of 1/6000 second allows the photographer to preserve sharp, crisp images of fast-moving subjects.

Digital filter function
 The K-x’s digital filter function allows the user to process recorded images in a variety of creative ways within the camera and produce highly creative visual expressions. With a choice of 16 different filters, the user can even apply different filters one after another to a single image to create more personalised visual effects.

Cross process mode
 The K-x features the new cross process mode, in which the camera automatically and randomly shifts photographic parameters for each exposure to create eye-catching images with unique, fanciful colours — just like pictures treated with the cross process.

High-precision 11-point AF sensor
 The K-x’s high-precision, wide-frame SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle) to automatically capture even off-centred subjects in sharp, crisp focus. The photographer can also select one of the sensors as a focusing point to accommodate specialised applications.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love PENTAX K-X pink!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2011
    Thanks a lot to the seller! I found the pink camera in many places, at last, I fond it in Amazon. Now I'm falling love with my pink camera. PENTAX is a very good DSLR camera for fresh user, it has vey high quality and easy to use. It is a fashion icon for young people, because it has several colour to choose. And the speed of dispatch is very fast. Whatever, I love this shopping process by Amazon and I am enjoying the fun which PENTAX brings to me! :)

    I've been looking for an entry level slr, then i saw this Pink Pentax K-x on the web. I thought it wasn't available in the UK, I was surprised to find it on Amazon and at a reasonable price. :) Its got everything I need ( features are great plus the wide angle lens packaged with it is fab)and it was even packaged with four Eneloop rechargable Ni-mh batteries and charger, which was a surprise because I did'nt see it on the listing when I purchased it beforehand. Great product and I am very happy with it. :D

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Adore This Camera!
    Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2011

    I was looking for a starter DSLR, and after a little research I decided this would be a good choice- trust me, it was. Don't let the pink fool you, it gives great results even in low light. Once you play with it a little, you'll find it's easy to switch to fully manual mode to capture images exactly how you want. It was a big step up from my point and shoot, but it wasn't intimidating because everything is easy to figure out. As soon as I got it, I started playing around with it and taking great pictures without even reading the manual (I did later go back and read it though). I enjoy having the option of an automatic or manual focus, and I especially love how responsive the shutter is (the one on my point and shoot fired kind of slowly and I missed some good shots because of it). The filters are really neat too- I especially love the toy camera filter because I'm into lomography. It won't replace your Holga or Diana, but it's close enough!

    If you're looking to step up from your point and shoot to something more sophisticated, this is the camera for you. It's not super expensive as far as DSLRs go, which is another reason I chose to get it. I'm just an amateur and don't plan on becoming a professional photographer, but if I changed my mind, I think this camera would allow me to keep up with all the Nikon and Cannon owners. I am very very glad I got this camera- I adore it!
