My use of multiple AF points is so-so. I do usually select a single point, but I am not constantly changing it so I have a pretty good idea where the focus point is. After reading lots of reviews and seeing many samples, it was clear to me that the K-x was the choice I needed for the high volume, low light work I needed to do. I had been ok with the K20D for some occasional low light stuff, but nothing like I was facing. The reviews clearing point towards the K-x improving on the K7. I had yet to justify the move to the K7 over my K20D - in essence, I was getting along just fine with it. But this low light job was not going to cut it. Now that I have worked with the K-x, I am quite surprised by how well it works in low light and how capable the body is. Is it a K7? Not by any means - but it is a great body, especially for the price. It does a good enough job for what I need right now. I would be really stoked to see the K-x sensor in the K7 body. Until then, I can hold off on a K7 just using the K20D for most things and the K-x for the low light. -- Bruce -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
