Yeah, the K-x seems to do what I need. I can say that I am feeling much more comfortable about the upcoming gymnastic event - 3200 looks pretty decent.
For this game I wanted to see what the body could do, so I put it on sports mode, and picked the AF sensor just above middle (vertical orientation). The sports mode sets AF to continuous and favors high shutter speeds. It does not let me change the white balance while in that mode. The metering was set to multi-segment. I am pretty much a RAW shooter, but have to admit, I have just been shooting jpg's with the K-x so far. It really is a great little body - hard to find much to dislike and it handles quite well. I could see it easily becoming the primary shooting camera over my K20D. The AF seems to work a little better, the AWB is better, the meter seems at least as good and the shooting frame rate is faster. I even rather like the white body - goes nicely with black lenses - sort of the anti Canon, if you will. White body and black lenses instead of black body and white lenses. I almost have a half mind to pick up another body for backup and using the pair in my work. I am already having to contend with my 20 year old daughter who wants to use it instead of her *istD (can't blame her). -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 12:33:09 AM, you wrote: RS> On 17/02/2010, Bruce Dayton <[email protected]> wrote: >> Another from the same game - no crops, no processing >> >> Pentax K-x, DA* 50-135/2.8 @ 103mm >> ISO 3200, 1/400 sec @ f/4.0, Handheld >> >> http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/imgp0529.htm RS> Nice work Bruce, it looks like your new little workhorse is doing what RS> you intended.
