@spaceboyinfinity At the time we used “full” to suggest that the camera shot true HD video, not the progressive SD or upscaled stuff that some broadcast sources were calling HD. As the HD spec matured, “full” came to mean 1080p as a means of differentiating it from 720p. While both 1080p and 720p are absolutely HD resolutions, these days we adhere to this distinction that “full” means 1080p. However, keep in mind this material was produced a while ago.
@SpeedFreakNO The functionality is slightly different although the same basic operating principal is shared among Pentax DSLR cameras. It's a body based system with 3 plates including a free floating center plate with sensor. The peripheral programmable circuitry of the K-7 allows for newer features such as the rotational compensation.

@Ardaiel There were a few reported instances of the K-x displaying the low-battery symbol when batteries are changed in the camera. Please check the firmware version. Turn the camera off, hold down the Menu button and turn the camera on. The installed firmware version will be displayed on the LCD screen. If it is version 1.00, download & install the firmware version 1.02. Version 1.01 of the update (contained in the 1.02 update) improved the K-x battery level indicator accuracy & stability.
@sonofthedestroyer Yes! The K-x and any of our AA compatible cameras will take rechargeable AA batteries. Please check with the battery manufacturer regarding battery life.
When using AA Lithium batteries in the K-x you are able to achieve a battery life far superior (up to 3x longer) than what you would get using a dedicated rechargeable battery. Plus AA batteries have the advantage of being available universally, and there are plenty of rechargeable AA options.
@mohawkynot The “dots” between the ASA / ISO numbers indicate 1/3 stop increments of the ASA / ISO. For example (approximated) from ASA 100 to ASA 200 : 100, * 125, *160, 200. ASA 200 to ASA 400: 200 *260, *320, 400 etc.
@koa218 Yes, this is the normal soft “clunk” the floating sensor in our DSLRs with Shake Reduction make when the camera is tilted side-to-side. It is perfectly OK.
@mohawkynot However, because we no longer produce film lenses (discontinued long ago), you may wish to look at the used market for PENTAX film lenses. PENTAX Digital lenses may not be used on the K-1000 or other PENTAX 35mm SLR cameras.
@sunny63ea You would zoom manually to create your shot (similar to how you would zoom to frame your shot with your point and shoot). You don't need to change lenses if the range of the kit lens is what you are looking for. If you are looking for a long zoom try the K-x kit that comes with the 50-200 or 55-300. The remote control for the 90-WR will work with our current DSLRs and current compacts which use a remote (like the Optio W90).
This camera is really awesome,after introducing this camera to my friend,i've got Canon 50D,550D,Nikon D5000,3000 etc tempted to get this cam.1st of coz, the striking colour,then the functions,the shutter speed,the size and the weight! Really great camera for its price! Yes to some of u who asked about rechargeable batteries,i'm currently using Eneloop's Nimh rechargeable,which lasted for a long time,with a good amount of shots taken
@sunny63ea You can choose from a variety of lenses for optimal zoom as SLRs accomodate interchangeable lenses. I would recommend a 200mm lens (the 50-200mm is a great inexpensive lens) to achieve the zoom that you are hoping for.
Yes. I have tried a few different brands. You definately want to get some with the highest mAh possible. (milliamp hours- how long the battery lasts) Some are below 2000 . Make sure you get 2500mAh or higher. I found some that are Targus branded that come in a kit of 4 with a home charger and car adapter that are 2700mAh. They work great and cost about the same as just most other batteries alone!
@mzredmez Hello - yes, this camera is super easy to use. You can leave it in Auto mode or select one of the scene modes for easiest use. The camera will do the work for you by choosing the optimal setting.
@punkydebutante1 1) It does not have an option to control recording movies with a timer, however you can start and stop movie recording using an optional remote control. 2) Although the PENTAX K-x will automatically adjust for bright or dim light when shooting movies, it cannot shoot movies in the dark. 3) The PENTAX K-x has a top shutter speed of 1/6000th of a second as well as a Continuous autofocus mode, which are very helpful when photographing moving people.
The black in the next week, white in the about two more weeks. The Kx white will be available with the DA-L 18-55 in white or with the DA-L 18-55 and DA-L 50-200 in white.
@pcfrak60 It is. While it's not the highest resolution possible in the broadcast HD world, it is fully in the high def realm and is not in any way standard def.
@mohawkynot The K-1000 is a 35mm film camera which requires the use of our 35mm K-bayonet film lenses (or “S” lenses with Mount Adapter B). Our DSLR cameras will also use our 35mm film lenses. PENTAX film lenses such as: the SMCP-FA 28-200mm lens is similar in range to what you referenced, other lenses such as the SMCP-FA 28-105mm and SMCP-FA 80-200mm may be recommended. These lenses can be operated manually on the K-1000 and they can be operated manually or automatically on our DSLRs.
@christonabicycle For JPGs, you can adjust your level of sharpness for each custom image mode as it suits you. Also, you can shoot in RAW and apply whatever processing you want to the file in general. Beyond that, there's no "global" way for turning sharpening off.
@eddycification At the time we used “full” to suggest that the camera shot true HD video, not the progressive SD or upscaled stuff that some broadcast sources were calling HD. As the HD spec matured, “full” came to mean 1080p as a means of differentiating it from 720p.

@SpeedFreakNO The K-x does not have this capability. The K-7 sensor does have rotational capability which enables Horizon Correction and Composition Adjustment.
@pentaxian1 thanks, one more question, i have a mac and i edit my movies with imovie, does this camera have the right file type for imovie? Can it be imported into a mac? What kind of movie format is it? thanks
3:12 It looks like the LCD monitor has replaced the small LCD that is on top on the K20 and K7. Can you dial in Ev while in Manual mode (M)? I can't find a manual on the Pentax site, else I'd read that.
@PhantomAct The K-x features exceptional low light performance and reduced noise. It can be favorably compared to our high-end DSLR’s in terms of noise reduction in low light situations.
Hi. Looks like a great camera. I was wondering if the stock lens could acheive a shallow depth of field? I'm really looking into getting into this "film look" and these dslr cameras with 24p movie mode and the right lens seem to do the trick. Do you recommend any lens to acheive a shallow depth of field with this camera? Thanks
Hi, nice vid. Just got my K-X but noticed that when I picked it up the body out of the box, I can hear parts inside shift when I tilt the camera. It seems to be working fine when I take pictures. I don't hear the shifting in movie mode. Should I be worried?
@punkydebutante1 There is a self timer and you can also buy a remote. The K-x was (still is) a very successful cameras. The K-r is a wonderful camera as well with some additional upgrades.
@Ardaiel (cont) Since most Ni-MH batteries do not reach their full capacity until after several charge/recharge cycles, using new “unconditioned” Ni-MH batteries may sometimes cause the K-x to incorrectly interpret the battery type & available power. Once the new Ni-MH batteries have been discharged and re-charged a few times, they should reach optimum performance & the K-x should be able to auto-detect the battery type more consistently.
Ive got a Pentax K1000 and a set of lenes, can they be used with this camera? Ive been wanting to buy a dslr but I dont havent got a huge amount of money to burn!
thanku! i meant self timer so you can take pictures of urself or any1 without sum1 pressing the button... i called pentax and they told me about the pentax r?? and that the kx is discontinuing.. is it bad? found glitches? :/ it has al i need but shud i "upgrade" to the R
@arrowheadss Our cameras produce AVI files (MJPG compression). I use Edius Neo 2 on a PC myself, but my buddies that use Macs report that they have no problems whatsoever working with our AVI files in iMovie or QuickTime.
Bought this camera just over a year ago, and it worked fine until about January. Now the shutter sometimes just does not reopen when I take a photo, and the photo doesnt take, and the photos are really, really blurry when I put them onto my computer. Any advice?
@arrowheadss The bundled kit lens is capable of F3.5 max at wide angle. This should give you decent depth of field to play with. There are faster lenses available (F2.8 or 1.4) that can decrease DOF even more, but I think your lens should suit general need just fine.
Now I am saving up for the K7 with the 14mm f/2.8 wide angle, 100mm f/2.8 macro, and 200mm f/2.8 telephoto. It will take a while, but I know what I want. Maybe later I'll think of the K-x as a second body.
@Tarantulicx The K-x is the least expensive PENTAX. The K-r and K-5 are also wonderful cameras. The K-5 is going to be the most advanced and it shoots 1080p video but the price point is higher.
The white and the black version are normal... blue and red are limited and other like pink ,chocolate , silver are special order but only avaiable in asia till now
Does the white model have the same feel as the black one? I'm not sure what you call it but that "grippy texture" on the body seems to be absent on the colored models. Anyone?
@BloodyNeighbor Magnesium by itself is very reactive, but when it is mixed with other material to make an alloy it becomes extremely stable, durable and light weight. A stainless steel body would be much heavier to offer the same strength.
1:52 ...Full HD capture ? 720p is not full-HD ;) Anyway, I have a k-x and I can highly recommend it! After much research, I choose it over the nikon and canon's entry-level dslr's :)
fair play to the folks at pentax for producing the best entry level DSLR in the market today. it blows the opposition out of the water they just cant compete with its overall package of features ,build quality , great images, and value for money. this camera could sell for €800 in Ireland and you would still be happy but its selling at the moment for €420. if you are looking for a camera in this price range you would be mad to buy anything except the pentax k-x.
well done to the people at pentax for producing the best by far entry level DSLR, but in saying that this camera can punch well above its weight and has many of the features of mid level DSLRs, it blows the entry level opposition form cannon ,nikon and sony etc. out of the water in every department: 1] image quality 2] build quality 3] extra features 4] value for money, and the fact in has built in stabilization means u save a fortune on extra lenses compared to the others. .
The ability to run that camera with normal AA Batteries is an absolute PLUS!! I hate all that propeterian Battery type of power supply that most of the other Brand cameras have.
Noo! I wanted white to come out with black so i won't have to wait! Now this throws navy blue back into the mix since it's only a couple weeks after that..
This is the fifth generation of Pentax DSLR to use AA batteries. The K100D, K110D, K200D, and K2000 (Km) all used AA batteries, but none of them have the battery life of the K-x
i am getting a DSLR. i had originally planned to get the canon d1000, but now that I have seen this, it's 10x better! i am from australia, and all the shops are really competitive with prices, but this one is the cheapest!
after a very deep reasearch done, I thought I had found the best mid range camera in a Nikon D90, until I bumped into this one, it just seems like it's capable to over perform the D90 with a couple Hundred bucks less.

Excelent Review, I have the Pentax K-x and 3 years later I still use it almost every day...
Can this camera take pictures really fast? Ex. could it take, say 18 pictures in 2 seconds?
@SpeedFreakNO The functionality is slightly different although the same basic operating principal is shared among Pentax DSLR cameras. It's a body based system with 3 plates including a free floating center plate with sensor. The peripheral programmable circuitry of the K-7 allows for newer features such as the rotational compensation.
@sonofthedestroyer yes, it's amazing the sensor is the size of a nikon D300, yet it's so compact. I wonder if it's weather sealed like the K20D
In the US, the black version should be available in the next week. The white will follow in a couple of weeks, and red and blue in mid-November.
@punkydebutante1 lenses are interchangeable so you can change them at any time!

@0LovesNothing0 You may be interested in the K-r. It is newer than the K-x and comes with a rechargeable battery rather than AAs.

@mohawkynot I have the Kx with a sigma DG 70-300 lens too, but do you notice blur or lack of image quality when zoomed in to 300mm?
@punkydebutante1 There is a self timer and you can also buy a remote. The K-x was (still is) a very successful cameras. The K-r is a wonderful camera as well with some additional upgrades.
That HDR 1 and 2 is awesome
Im taking a photography class at school i the spring.. I'm deff going to get this camera
@SpeedFreakNO
The K-x and K-7 share the same system which is different than the K10D/K20D.
@kiamarion This camera would definitely suit you. There are many different lenses that you can choose from.
@ammaretto The K-x does not take rechargeable batteries however the K-r, K-7 and K-5 do.

can this camera only support pentax lenses?
can i use very old manual lenses on this camera??
Ive got a Pentax K1000 and a set of lenes, can they be used with this camera? Ive been wanting to buy a dslr but I dont havent got a huge amount of money to burn!
There is 100 colours in Pentax Japan website, why it is only 3 or possibly 4 colours for k-x in other countries?
thanku! i meant self timer so you can take pictures of urself or any1 without sum1 pressing the button... i called pentax and they told me about the pentax r?? and that the kx is discontinuing.. is it bad? found glitches? :/ it has al i need but shud i "upgrade" to the R
@CalenCoffman this camera shoots 4.7fps - the K-5 shoots 7fps
When u buy this does it come with recharchable batteries, if so how long do the last?? thanks!!!
Full HD is 1080p and the camera is 720p?
@arrowheadss
Our cameras produce AVI files (MJPG compression). I use Edius Neo 2 on a PC myself, but my buddies that use Macs report that they have no problems whatsoever working with our AVI files in iMovie or QuickTime.
Can sharpening in-camera be turned off?
Bought this camera just over a year ago, and it worked fine until about January. Now the shutter sometimes just does not reopen when I take a photo, and the photo doesnt take, and the photos are really, really blurry when I put them onto my computer. Any advice?
@PhotoTech12 Hmmm... might be a DA star 60-250 or 300mm F4...
Does this camera have interval shooting on it
How is it with re-chargable batterys?...how long will it last?
@arrowheadss
The bundled kit lens is capable of F3.5 max at wide angle. This should give you decent depth of field to play with. There are faster lenses available (F2.8 or 1.4) that can decrease DOF even more, but I think your lens should suit general need just fine.

what is that huge lens in the back at 2:22
oh and can you change to better lens eventually?
Any idea what the body only price may be?
where can you buy this cam???
is there autofocus in video mode
Nice looking camera for the money, but I wish you guys would start sending cameras to Cameralabs again so I could have a could review of it.
Finally a review with the Color Extraction filter shown in it thank you ^.^
Does "PRIME2" make the K-x transform?
@Tarantulicx The K-x is the least expensive PENTAX. The K-r and K-5 are also wonderful cameras. The K-5 is going to be the most advanced and it shoots 1080p video but the price point is higher.
The white and the black version are normal...
blue and red are limited
and other like pink ,chocolate , silver are special order but only avaiable in asia till now
Does the white model have the same feel as the black one? I'm not sure what you call it but that "grippy texture" on the body seems to be absent on the colored models. Anyone?
@ROCKON2202 PENTAX has not experienced a problem with “mirror slap” in the K-x
@BloodyNeighbor
Magnesium by itself is very reactive, but when it is mixed with other material to make an alloy it becomes extremely stable, durable and light weight. A stainless steel body would be much heavier to offer the same strength.
doe this camera have inteval shooting
inteval shooting?
Wow, is this the first DSLR to use AA batteries?
1:52 ...Full HD capture ? 720p is not full-HD ;) Anyway, I have a k-x and I can highly recommend it! After much research, I choose it over the nikon and canon's entry-level dslr's :)
@KyleBallingerPK The batteries that come with this camera are not rechargeable. You can purchase rechargeable batteries to go with this camera.
@Gabe6767 Gabe, the K-5 is the fastest Pentax DSLR currently
Hey Pentax guy, your review rocks. You speak very deliberate and clear for anybody to understand. Love your reviews!
i think he means you hold it with your right hand on the grip
Like the white Color. looks awesome.
fair play to the folks at pentax for producing the best entry level DSLR in the market today. it blows the opposition out of the water they just cant compete with its overall package of features ,build quality , great images, and value for money. this camera could sell for €800 in Ireland and you would still be happy but its selling at the moment for €420. if you are looking for a camera in this price range you would be mad to buy anything except the pentax k-x.
Don't forget the *ist D, *ist DS, *ist DL, and *ist DL2 also could use AA batteries (or CR-V3 batteries).
@sligadoo FA 600mm F4 (with the FA 300mm F2.8 just in front of it)
well done to the people at pentax for producing the best by far entry level DSLR, but in saying that this camera can punch well above its weight and has many of the features of mid level DSLRs, it blows the entry level opposition form cannon ,nikon and sony etc. out of the water in every department: 1] image quality 2] build quality 3] extra features 4] value for money, and the fact in has built in stabilization means u save a fortune on extra lenses compared to the others. .
The ability to run that camera with normal AA Batteries is an absolute PLUS!!
I hate all that propeterian Battery type of power supply that most of the other Brand cameras have.
Noo! I wanted white to come out with black so i won't have to wait!
Now this throws navy blue back into the mix since it's only a couple weeks after that..
OMG Getting It In Red For Christmas!!!!
Well done Pentax!!!
Very informative video. this might replace my isdDS.
I bought this camera, it's awesome!
this will be my fist dslr, i was going to get a eos 40d body only £400 but im getting this for £400 twin lens
just ordered this camera!!! cant wait :))))

@Jaeqo Yes.
after a very deep reasearch done, I thought I had found the best mid range camera in a Nikon D90, until I bumped into this one, it just seems like it's capable to over perform the D90 with a couple Hundred bucks less.
