K-x first impressions

2010-02-13 Thread Bruce Dayton
Ok, I've had a night and day to work with the camera. Did some testing and comparing last night to the K20D and then shot some this morning and a basketball game this afternoon. So about 700 shots so far. The camera does not feel as robust as the K20D, but it seems to be reasonable.

ember that the blue channel is "always" (AFAIK) the noisest one, hence I don't think this is a specific K20D issue. I understand your K20D shows more of it that other cameras you are used to, and I won't deny that. I only find it strange, as I never had that same impression.
