Pentax k-x body only with box & all original contents, I bought this from the pentaxforums from a guy in the USA. No receipt or warranty but camera works great. Will also include 4 x 7dayshop 2900MAH batteries, which last an age with the k-x.

I am looking for a trade for a Samsung GX20 preferably with a grip.

Why do I want a swap??? I need 2 bodies the same, working between Pentax & Samsung is far to laborious for me.

Shots with k-x

Here it is atatched to my 50-135mm

I bought the k-x to use with my DA* 50-135mm for concert shoots, however for festival usage I was left with having to revert back to my GX20, which negated the point of having a k-x for me. The dust at Glastonbury this year was just shocking. So my next purchase will be another GX20 & a DA* 16-50mm

I have a GX20 & a k-x, having used both to cover the Glastonbury Festival this weekend, I would & I am looking to swap my k-x for another GX20, due to the high dust at this weeks Glastonbury I just couldn't take it out with me. The k-x is still a fantastic camera, but not for my needs.

Pluses for k-x

Excellent high ISO abilities
Small & lightweight
Video
Easy button access on back for ISO, WB
Smaller image files, quicker to transfer

Disadvantages of k-x

No top LCD
No dust or weather seal
No front dial
No grip option
Viewfinder meter is in numeric form not graphical
Smaller image files, less availability for cropping

Having compared final image quality, the GX20 is still better than the k-x

Just to throw another spanner into the works, I have an HTC HD2, yes a windows phone.

Does everything I need, calls people, text people, emails with push, facebook in full site version & I can plug it into my laptop to use it's internet connection. Oh it also has Google maps & a marvellous 4 inch screen with 800 pixel resolution to play my DIVX movies. It also has a 1ghz processor so everything just works fast & smoothly.

My kids have had all the Iphones so far & drawl all over my large screen. Their Iphones have also been back to Apple numerous times for various repairs under warranty. But the best thing of all, when I am out in the field like at Glastonbury for a week with no power, I can remove the dead battery & insert a new fully charged one. That to me is far more important than any App in Apples App store...

Whats funny is that the cycle lane may have cost £2000 but councils get EU grants worth a lot more than this for having a percentage of their toad network given over entirely to cyclists, hence why you see silly bits of cycle track like this.

Just returned from an assignment in Ibiza last week. Whilst there I got another assignment to shoot Pete Doherty. Took some with the Pentax k-x & one sold to the Sun.

The DA* 50-135 is a superb lens, not the fastest focussing, but IQ more than makes up for that & my editors always love my colourful shots. As for that 16-50mm would be tempted, but all feedback items are private to, obviously a good ebayer but I would need more information to tempt me at that price.
