Hey Tim,
Jason here from Littleton/Lakewood area. I just ordered my K-x from Adorama on the 19th and it'll be here in about a week.
Just a note, get the K-x. I've been researching DSLR's for about two months now. I was all set to buy a Nikon D90 (but dreading the cost) when someone suggested the K-x. More research turned up so many more advantages in going with the K-x over a Nikon/Canon.
Yes, its a 4:3 format sensor and doesn't have a grip, but other than that, what sold me was the incredible high ISO performance (I have a kid, so indoor low light shots are 50% of what I do) and the lense choice/price. Saving $ on not needing an in-lens shake reduction and autofocus pays for the body, over time. Not to mention the incredibly easy to navigate and logical menus in the camera.
And...IIRC, Pentax is a Colorado company!
Anyway, hit me up in a week or two and we'll meet. But if I were you, just DO IT! lol
