I still have my *ist D (what a pain to type that on a BlackBerry) with the grip and an A50 1.7 in my office. I use it for all Chemistry's web photos. It's slow and, by today's standards, pretty low res. Using a MF lens solved the AF speed problem. I just keep abusing it. I did like that body.

Good question, with only opinions for answers. First off you have to ask yourself what the primary use of this camera will be. Any professional use or strictly amateur. The K-x is extremely well speced and is a bargain. It is very small and light and handles well. It is also tops when it
