I bought my K-x in November - joined the forum before I bought it and actually got it in my wee mits in December

Richard - I'd be interested in any pics you take and also your comments after handling it .

I'm finding user reviews on Amazon [ UK and US ] and J&R very interesting - a lot of criticisms , poor performance in low light , 2 slated it for stabilisation , usual comments re battery

These are the other ones I've seen

Guys - anyone know of a Fuji dealer in Glasgow ?? We have a dearth of decent camera shops here now

I would really like to see the Fuji F70EXR - there could be a problem with it .

From what I've managed to see online the Flash is on the Right Hand side and it's possible that my Right Index finger would be rather uncomfortably close to it .

Has anyone seen it in the flesh so-to-speak ? Can anyone comment on this ?

It's a good job I have plenty of time

I'm looking back at what RichardDay said earlier
Quote:
I have the P70 and the software based image stabilisation (same as the P80) is worse than useless, it can take up to 4 seconds to record the shot. Also the AF is nothing to shout about. Using either I invariably miss shots. I now use pre-set manual focus (called snap focus by Ricoh) and no image stabilisation. In fact I hardly ever use it now apart from the odd e-bay product type shots.

If I was going for a P&S I would look for mechanical, lens or sensor, stabilisation.
Now I discovered that even with the little C703 there were many times when it told me of hand/camera shake - and I'm well aware that this for me is a real problem - I can do everything possible to avoid shake but there is still the big possibility of it . OK so a tripod would solve that - but being practical , this camera is to go in my pockets / bag so it's with me and a tripod is weight which I can struggle with.

This stabilisation is one of the big plus point to me in the K-x , it was one thing I was looking for when I started all this camera hunting after the Fuji S5000 demised and well - and we all know what I ended up with
