Hi guys, have a question.
My father has Nikon D90. I will sell Pentax K20D + Double kit these week firstly because I don't use double kit. But the main problem is what to go for - K-x(same sensor as D90) or K-7(no upgrade in IQ).
So, if you have Nikon D90 what will you go for?

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but . . .

Why sell the K20? It is a fine camera body. Use your funds to upgrade Pentax lenses. Buy the next generation sensor released in the K-7 body, probably fall 2010 (and keep the K20 as a backup body because by then it will be fully depreciated).

sell D90 then buy D700

sell D90 then buy pentax lenses
sell D90 + sell K20d then buy K30d or K-9

do not buy K-x if u have K20d

it's not the same sensor. K-x is better than D90 at high ISO. D90 has better AF

Hello

How is your k-x?

Rener · 12-18-2009, 03:14 PM

sell the D90 w/ the Sigma and get the K X and the DA F1.4 for the ultimate low light capability.

cheers,

Rene

Congratulations! Simple (entry level?

)camera however extremly enjoyable. I'm also very happy with it. Almost bought a D90 did a good amount of research on the net-but when I first managed to try out the K-x in a big store (I also put a card in it and took some pictures home) I was hooked

Congrats. When you've gotten used to it, tell us how you like it compared to the D90

I don't mean to be rude, but why ask 'us'? I'd suggest going to a camera review site, find the specs for both cameras, find out how they're different and then make up your mind which one suits your needs the best. (needs being a relative thing, of course

)

I don't like camera review sites, it's better for me to ask someone

sebberry · 12-24-2009, 12:15 PM

I'd say keep the K20D.

Igilligan · 12-24-2009, 12:37 PM

Your dads nikon... you use his lenses but he only has the sigma 10-20 and Kit? Is that right? I am so confused...

Anyway, if you a bound and detirmined to stay with pentax I would keep the K20 and pick up the Kx for high iso / small kit stuff.

But honestly if your dad is close to you and you can trade stuff easily... It is no brainer for me

I would sell the pentax stuff and get the D90 body only and buy the 35mm 1.8 -- the 50m 1.8 and the 85mm 1.8 for about 700 bucks... and get dad to buy a nice VR ultra zoom...

Done now you all got some fast nice primes to take advantage of the D90's IQ and a wide sigma 10-20 and a good ultra zoom...

There.... The perfect solution!

And if you asked the same question on the Nikon forums they would have said d90

Oh well, we are a nicer group of people (cept me of course, im pretty mean)

Best solution is K-x + pentax primes

Cause I have K-x now
