Hi, I think the DAL is the kit lens that has been split from the body and I think it has a plastic mount and no hood whereas the DA has metal mount and lens hood. Optically I think they are the same. I am sure I read something like this about them although I could have got this wrong so feel free anyone to correct me.
well done, have fun with it

where did you get one used, I looked all over for one and couldn't find anything. had to give in and buy new. good luck to you though, well done. I think you will be pleased, only had mine a day but really impressed with it so far. hope you enjoy, glad I was some help.

Hi, I was just about to tell you about the lce one! saw it over the weekend but decided on the k-x new. Just had a quick search of a few camera shops I know of and I think the srs price is probably pretty good and I know you get great service with them.

I'm sure you will get used to it. I hope to add the 55-300mm later when funds allow, but the 50-200mm will do me fine for now. only had a very short time to try my new camera but very impressed so far especially at high iso. wow! just wondering actually if I need to install a firmware update, I thought I read somewhere that it was available.

Hi, got the k-x today, went to my local camera store and they had the body for £309 but when I got to check out, it came up as £359. (as online) but because it had been on display at £309 that's what I got it for also bought a used 50-200mm for £80 so feeling rather pleased. time to play by the way, thanks for all your help and advice

I think I've decided to get the k-x tomorrow for £379 for body and 18-55mm lens, can't wait any longer, too impatient Then I will sell the 18-55mm and buy a used 50-200mm because I never use the smaller zoom. does £379.99 seem a fair price? thanks.
Hi, thanks for that, no problem, all's fair when buying cameras I think the size thing might apply to me as well. I have played around with the k-x in a shop and it did feel great. Also the low light capability would be great. I agree about not paying that price, I am going to keep holding on for a better deal than that. we will see what comes up, I'm sure I will find something. although I am pretty impatient
