Kx image samples on Imaging-Resource - soon

[UnknownVT]

I regard the Test Image samples on Imaging-Resource.com as some of the most useful - as they are standardized and consistent - making it very easy to directly compare one camera with another. They even have their own Comparometer to do this on-line (unfortunately they don't include the low light set which I use a lot).

Since I was interested when the sample images for the Kx would be available I wrote e-mail and just got this reply.

Imaging Resource Site Email - Pentax Kx samples?‏

We have a Pentax Kx on order, should arrive soon. We'll be posting samples images as soon as they are available.

The test images are up at Imaging Resource.com

Pentax K-x Digital Camera Samples - Hands-On Preview - The Imaging Resource!

Going to look at them now....

Thanks for the notification. From what I can see in the comparometer it looks like the K-x is possibly even sharper than the K-7. It for sure has less noise.

I wish they kept the K10D and K200D samples up.

I think it would be a wise move for Pentax to use this sensor in their future cameras. I'd really like to see a K200D replacement with the features and quality of the K-x.
