Will the K-x be ok ?

Can I ask the forum to take a look at my flickr photostream and advise if the K-x will be suitable for me. In particular will the af point selected be an issue ? I personally think that it won't because so much of my shots are landscape and if set to centre then I just have to learn to overcome that way. The K-x is available in several shops as different packages,but one has new body for £299 and 18-55 MK II for £49 which is very appealing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/donaldm/

When I got my kx I bought the twin pack with the 18-44 and 55-200. A couple of weeks later the 55-200 was traded in for a 70-300. 200 to me isn't really long enough for anything you might try your hand at.

For the £70 I'd upgrade and live off toast for the week...

length is relative when it comes to zooms. If 200mm isn't long enough for you, 300mm probably isn't, either, you'll want 400mm. then a TC... then... (etc).

I've got a 100-300 which basically never gets used. Have taken a 50-200 away with me a few times simply because its so small, even then most shots are around 150..

Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

True enough!
