Hello Eric,
You seem to be bouncing around between different models. Maybe you
could tell us better what your target price is so that we could hone
in on models and deals that would work well for you.

Well short of going to a full frame camera, the K-x is the best you can get for
shooting at high ISO from any manufacturer.
I have shot about 15,000 frames with mine since getting it a couple of months

Being the owner of a K20D, I ended up purchasing a K-x and it is much
better - especially if you don't want to heavily post process. The

I've never been a big fan of GESO's, simply because there is so much
to see at once, but since everyone has been viewing all the Yosemite
shots, we might as well go that direction.
So here is the beginning of the GESO - just click 'Next' to view
through the rest of them.
