I think the K-r's biggest problem is that it's too much a K-x with tweaks and the K-x is just so cheap now that the price difference is a bit hard to justify for many. Still looks like a great little camera but it's lost between the much higher-end K-5 and the much cheaper K-x. --Adam -- 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.
