I don’t get many opportunities to tackle Pentax hardware, so it’s definitely worth it when I get a chance to take a look at one.  Today I’m tackling the Pentax K-X DSLR camera, and it’s a complex little item.

The Pentax K-X is a twelve megapixel DSLR that offers a 2.7 inch color LCD monitor, face detection technology, smile mode, PENTAX PRIME II image processing engine, Sensor-shift Shake Reduction technology to improve image stability, a variety of picture and white balance modes, 11-point autofocus, an onboard retractable pop-up flash with red-eye reduction, 720p video recording, compatibility with Secure Digital memory cards, USB port and an array of filters.

While the resolution here isn’t the best–there’s much cheaper out there with higher numbers–we all know that it’s not all about the megapixels.  The controls aren’t too rough to work with, and the zoom seems pretty long, even if I had a tough time pegging the exact length.  Pretty much any time you hear “DSLR”, you can figure two things: high power, and high price.

How high a price, you might wonder?  The Pentax K-X goes for six hundred and fifty bucks at Best Buy, and that’s no small price.  But there’s plenty of power here to make up for that chunky walletbuster of a price tag, and so if you’re ready for a high-end piece, take a look at the Pentax K-X.
