K-x with 18-55 and 55-300 for $569.99 Seems like a good deal if someone is thinking about getting into a kit for a reasonable amount. This is time-sensitive (deal is online until they're gone) so if you're excited, jump now! (Maybe it's not OT, not sure) -Charles -- Charles Robinson -

I used the kit lens on my K-x once, to see how it worked. Most of the IMGP shots in this set were shot with it: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623732458488/ For a kit lens, it doesn't suck. Apart from my DA40 it might also be my lightest lens. Which has some benefits. On
