I'm seriously considering K-x, 2 lens kit with the 55-300. My biggest issue in photography life is that I have a tremor in my left hand. It's pretty significant - or, significant enough to wreck most of my pictures without IS. So, it has to be the first thing I consider. Money the very very close second.
I've read such conflicting info regarding in-body vs in-lens IS. So, I'm wondering if people have experience with each/both/this particular set up (k-x with these 2 lenses) and can give me any advice.
I also can't seem to find much about the 55-300 itself. Wondering how fast the auto-focus is on it or if it's irritatingly slow (for action/sports pics).
I have a Pentax-M 70-200 (I think it's 70) but the deal with the 300 is good and I'd love to have the 300 range and auto-focus.
My other option is a Canon Rebel XT that a friend would sell to me for $350 (basically new - it was her 2nd camera and she's moving up to a better 1st camera) but to buy an IS lens to get the range I want would add up to about the same as the K-x with both.
Obviously, posting on a Pentax forum will offer bias but that's ok. Any input would be [U]greatly[U] appreciated.

I have an old "M" Pentax lens. Can I use it on a k-x? I can't tell if there are adaptor rings for all older lenses or just some...
Also, although I shouldn't have to ask this question (as in, the answer should always be yes): is the camera/software usable on a mac?
Thanks much
