Great camera for begginers. Not to much buttons, controls etc.. but everything You need is 1-2 clicks away
I've been using it for last 7 years and just today bought the K-70 as a successor. But K-x will wait for it's time.
7 years and no problems, not once.
Usable ISO up to 3200, great performance on eneloop pro batteries - up to 2000 photos per charge!!!
and if you make more (and don't have backup) just go to any store and buy some AA batteries!!!
It is light, well build, great to have some fun with photos.
I plan to give it to my wife if she wants it, or to my sone when he grows p a little.
