Camera Reviews
Golden, CO—For consumers looking to add a brightly colored digital SLR to their imaging arsenal, Pentax announced that its K-x DSLR, already offered in black, white, red and navy versions, is now available exclusively for preorder at pentaxwebstore.com in limited edition bright blue, orange, green and purple models.
Each new color body comes in a kit with an 18-55mm lens and provides such advanced features as live view and HD video recording.
The compact and lightweight Pentax K-x first shipped in October 2009, boasting a one-handed shooting design and easy operation that makes it geared for users stepping up from a point-and-shoot digital camera to their first digital SLR. The K-x offers high-end features not normally found in an entry-level camera, including: a high-resolution 12.4 megapixel CMOS image sensor with sensor-shift shake reduction for stabilized image and video capture up to 4 stops; a 2.7-inch LCD featuring live view with face detection autofocus (16 faces); widescreen HD video capture in 720p at a cinematic 24 frames per second, using any Pentax 35mm lens; High Dynamic Range image capture that blends three bracketed images into a single picture for shadow, highlight and midrange details; and Pentax’s auto picture and scene modes for almost any situation to help new photographers learn DSLR photography.
The K-x also has a 4.7-fps capture speed and a 1/6,000-sec maximum shutter speed. Specs state it will capture up to 1900 shots with AA lithium batteries (also compatible with AA NiMH rechargeable and alkaline batteries).
The Pentax K-x digital SLR, available in all eight colors, is priced at $649.95 with a DA L 18-55mm lens. pentaximaging.com
