The cropped DA*60-250 shot looks a tad better to me than the Sigma, which is very impressive. Even if you think there is little or no difference it is impressive!
The bird shots also show the excellence of the DA*60-250!
Cheers,
Lance

Wish they would say what these updates are for though.

Lance, you're a cheapskate!
I agree that the K-x has some minor but very important feature ommissions, the most significant for me would be lens AF adjustments. I'm waiting to see what Pentax annouce next in the APS DSLR department.
Hope you had a great Christmas. Did Santa bring you any new goodies?
I hope you both had a great Christmas as well, mate.

Hi Lance.
Raiding your lens cupboard would easily cover the cost of my air fare! Hmmm...
I tried a K-x in direct comparison with the K-7 a couple of weeks back, it certainly produces great low noise images and is easy to use. I wonder how long it will be before you get one to complement your K-7?
I doubt I will get one as a back up - as I can just borrow my daughter's!!

For a beginner, like my daughter, it really is a great camera. Easy to use, almost like a P&S, and the results are amazing to say the least. The ease of use, small size and lightweight are just perfect for her and even I found it great to use.
When we went to have a look at it at JB HiFi (a large music, movie, electronics chain in Australia), even the young sales assistant was waxing lyrical about the better build quality than the similar priced Canon's and Nikon's and how impressed he was with it.
I cannot recommend it highly enough for a beginner to a DSLR or even as a second camera for the more experienced.
Now all I've got to do is keep a close watch on my lenses!
