Well almost it will be here tomorrow, guess what I'll be doing tomorrow afternoon and evening?
Back I can't remember when I had/used a Pentax P30 which replaced my ME of which I still have both with lens. Got the bug for a digital when they weren't even rated by MP. After several different ones I ended up with a Fujifilm S600fd which is a good compact camera. While reading the forums over at digitalgrin someone had a new K-x for sale so I went and looked at the specs and started reading reviews, well that did it I had the bug for a dSLR. After some research I decided that for the price I could afford that the K-x was my best choice.

I will be using it to take pictures of nostalgia racers, the grandkids playing sports and other activities. I also take pictures for some activities at my American Legion Post and the Patriot Guard Riders. Plus a few days of vacation no and again.

Thinking about taking some photography courses at the local community college to improve my skills.

Is it tomorrow yet? And did the man in the brown truck arrive?

WELCOME!

Welcome! The k-x is a great camera in it's own right even without regard to affordability.
Enjoy it, and WE EXPECT PICTURES.

As it turned out I didn't have a much time with the new K-x as I had hoped for but still managed to snap off about 100 shots. Here a couple of my favorites. Cropped and scaled but no other processing took place. My 1st impression is that I really like it.
