That's really great reading - thank you everyone for responding.
It sounds like there are some very good free options plus some good 'pay' ones too.
Have decided to give Picasa and GIMP a go and once I know which way round to hold my KX, I can then decide what to buy.
Best Wishes,

As a very new DSLR owner, my research seems to suggest Photoshop Elements in terms of value for money and ease of use - would you agree?
Also, is it necessary to install the Pentax software that came with my KX or will Photoshop do the job on it's own?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Fizzbomb:rolleyes:

Silly question I am sure - but what is OP?
What would the best setting be to stick to whilst I am in my 'green' phase?
Thanks again for the help,

Thanks for the replies all - really helpful and I'm grateful for you taking the time to advise me. Sounds like the only issue is the operators inexperience.
Looking forward to getting to know my KX and sharing some Pics
Cheers

Hi all,
After 12 months of research and reading, I finally took the plunge and bought a KX yesterday - it came with an 18-55 and 55-300 lens as part of a twin kit.
Being a typical man, I haven't read the manual yet and have started to play around with it - I have noticed two things which I would really appreciate an opinion on:
1) When I rotate or turn the camera, there is a sensation of something sliding/moving inside the camera. It is more pronounced without a lens attached and it does make a sliding and stopping sound also (as it something is sliding on runners between either side of the camera). It doesn't bother me at all, so long as this is normal - can you provide an explanation or advice?
2) I attached the 55-300 lens last night and tried to focus in on my pet dog at close range and in dim light. I half pressed the button to focus and the camera made one heck of a mechanical/whirring noise and didn't focus - this continued whilst I kept the button half depressed and so I stopped as it clearly wasn't right - any ideas and would I have done any damage?
Thanks very much in advance for your help,
Best Wishes,
FizzBomb
