A bigger hole in your bank balance?

You can compare the specs of the two on the Pentax site.

For me it boils down to 4 things:

Higher ISO, faster frame rates, visible AF indicator and lithium batteries.

Would these four make me want to sell the K-x. Nope!

It's the same image sensor at the end of the day.

It's also a bigger camera and has the far superior 3" LCD from the K-7!

The fact it's bigger negates the other advantages. Reasons to upgrade from the K-x would include a better viewfinder and ergonomics, neither of which the K-r offers.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

Has the KR got a cable release socket? The lack of one was my biggest disappointment with the KX.
