Hi I'm leaving the point & shoot world for the dslr world & I have been looking for quite a while & am still struggling to make a decision, but I do like what the kr offers. I want a good all rounder that is not to difficult for a novice , can give reasonable video & is particularly good at sports photography. Can anybody pass on words of wisdom about this camera particularly anybody that has personal experience of it. Many thanks

Hi all I am also thinking of getting the kr & am even more impressed with the comments I have read on this thread. I have a couple of questions, the kit I am planning to get includes the 18-55mm lense & the 55-300mm lense & I am wondering does anyone have any opinions on the 55-300 or has anyone any experience of it. I am planning to use the camera for general use and also for football matches my son plays in & I want to get in good & close to the action. I was also wondering about the video recording ability of the camera, I currently have a point & shoot Sony dsc h20 & have no experience of DSLRS

Thank you for all the information however the info on this thread is getting a little too technical for me at this stage, it would be great if people could post some pics of the good & bad (if any) of this camera. I am coming from a point & shoot background & this is my first taste of DSLR. I have been researching the kx for quite a while & it is only in the last week that I discover the kr was the update of the kx. I have looked at & held the kx & it felt right so I feel the kr is probably right for me. I know I am now babbling but the camera I am looking for is a good all rounder with good video recording & excellent at taking sports shots. I am not really interested in going down the route of camcorders any more & have been more than happy with the quality of video from my point & shots over the last few years.

I hope I can get some useful comments & impartial advice to my problem. Just as I had done all my research on the Pentax kr and was about to buy it the Nikon D5000 was thrown into the mix by a couple of people & now I am back to not quite square one. What I would like to know is has anybody got personal experience of one or preferably both cameras & which is the better of the two & the best value for money. Many thanks in advance. I really like the look of the kr & feel I will probably buy it but just need a little more help to make the decision.
