Impressed with the K-X

My uncle now has a K-X and I've played with it for a good 3 hours and like the title said I'm impressed. The AF (real 11 point vs 3 point KM) seems to work like it should and is quite snappy, It feels also faster then the K10D focus. Viewfinder was certainly very decent compared to the K10D, which is very good for a mirror viewfinder. It has a lot of features found in the K7 that make it a bit more useful. Controls are a bit different then with the K10D but not inlogical, I do miss the amount of buttons though since I'm a M mode man. I can not say much about picture quality, I made some in a dark room with iso1600 so can not really judge them. Also took some video which is surprisingly pleasant to do... makes me want to have a K7 more now though :( Will go there this weekend again so will try to make some test shots, any special request of settings or other things? Edit: I put an DNG file online, please I don't want to see this image online somewhere else or the fun is over. :evil:

Thanks

It was a fun shot - spur of the moment thing. Just never seen a Metro train decorated like that - the outside was a blue jeep .

I think only a few pics on there have actually been 'tweaked ' - mainly the ones in Grand Central - and those were the ones that taught me that I will have to get a flash for it - so I can avoid reflections from it

let the education continue
