Yeah. Be good if they got their mojo back.
Even though K-x is entry level and not their flagship, more K-x sales = more Pentax/Hoya lens, filter, accessories sales, as well as potential body upgrade customers in future too.

Awesome 4/5, K-x won something! Best-quality footage too!
Curious about the D5000's placement, the description they wrote doesn't seem to match its place!

It's not 4 out of 5, these cameras are best in at one certain thing (says times). The D5000 isn't #1, just best at being average.

I think he was referring to the the stars count. The K-x scores 4/5 stars.

The unfortunate aspect is when a capable tool is labeled as a "beginner's camera".

Why? All DSLRs on the market are "capable tools", and it's obvious that Pentax wants the K-x to be My First Pentax.

Perhaps the K-x could win multiple category awards (best beginners, best enthusiast, best stylish, best all-rounder) just like entertainers do at the Grammys...

I think if they keep stuff like this up, they'll start getting it back. Things are looking good for Pentax.

Hey, when I teach, I like the students to have capable tools.

)
