Returning to Pentax (last was a 35mm KM many years back) after Fuji's and their S8100 bridge camera. Just a tad limiting - esp the motorized zoom that never stopped just where I wanted it! Having to remember all the techniques now after being lazy and using auto mainly. I have the K-X with the twin lens kit and am looking forward to taking some shots on holiday. I have a query about old equipment I shall put in the general forum.

Welcome back to Pentax! I'm sure you'll love your Pentax DSLR and the famous reverse-compatibility.
