If your K-x is like mine - it comes with Energiser Lithiums - and I got about 1000 shots from these [ camera bought in November last year ] I'm now on my second set and I suspect that they will last for some long time yet.

p39 in the manual says
Quote:
Lithiums recommended in cold weather
NiMH these are economical. A commercially available battery charger that is compatible with the batteries is required
Alkaline batteries - easily obtainable when the batteries you are using run out but they may not support all the camera functions under certain conditions. We do not recommend using them except in emergencies or when checking the camera functionality
BTW a new camera deserves new batteries - ie a brand new never been used set .
the ones i have are still in the packaging as is the charger

is in body better than in the lens, also if you have in body stabilisation can you still use a lens with in lens i.s or do they not make them for pentax

ok so next week im getting the above camera, i was wandering what the 2 lenses will be suuitable for, im looking to really concentrate on macro with a few good pics of my kids

i know i will need a dedicated macro lens and im looking at gettin the sigma 105 or the tamron 90 if they will fit this camera. but will one of them do for close ups of my kids some thing like this

also it doesnt say wether the lenses have a stabiliser, do the camera's have a built in one or shall i get different lenses from the start

sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any help you give

no havnt bought it yet i gotta wait until xmas eve as its being paid for with my xmas bonus.

i prob will want a longer lens later on but at the moment i want to concentrate on macro as i love what can be done.

im not sure what those lenses are good for that come in a kit, im hoping that one will be suitable for taken some good shots of my kids.

i am out practising with another camera at the moment its a fugi film finepix s1900 got it really cheap, and gave it to my 7 year old daughter as she likes taking pictures, but as i said ive been out with her trying to get used to spotting a good pic.

what are those lenses good for that come in the kit, im gonna be looking for a good macro lens soon maybe a months time and was thinking about the sigma 105 or the tamron 90 not sure if they fit pentax or can u suggest another goood one.

i will post up some pics when ive got my kx and i look forward to you guys helping me out in the future
