Pentax is one of the most known camera brands in the market, that is why when news came out that they will be releasing Pentax K-x 18-200mm Digital SLR Camera, everyone anticipated for it. The said model has been recommended by photography experts to those who are using SLR cameras for the first time, as well as to those experienced photographers who are looking for a good backup camera.

The Pentax K-x 18-200mm Digital SLR Camera is an impressive camera in its own right, since it combines solid photographic performance and wide range of features including high definition movie recording in 720p. This camera with 12.4 megapixel CMOS image sensor can be used in various photographic occasions, whether it is for taking portraits, travel and a lot more. It is compact and lightweight which makes it easier to bring anytime, anywhere.

The kit includes an 18-200mm Sigma Lens, which if you have attached for the first time to the K-x, you will immediately feel the impressiveness that this camera has to offer. The camera is very reasonably priced, but it does not feel like it; the user will never feel compromised. However, it does not include any form of weather-proofing, unlike the other Pentax models in the market.

As for its image quality, the 12.4 megapixels of this camera is able to capture true-to- life images, with its rich depth of colors and fine details. It also offers a wide sensitivity range (between ISO 200 and ISO 6400) as well as an option for the user to customize their preferred mode, to give more “creative freedom” to the user. The K-x also features the newly developed PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) imaging engine that offers great and faster data processing speed and enhancing the capability of the camera to produce more accurate rendition in terms of color and quality.

Pentax K-x also has the improved SR (shake reduction) mechanism. Through this, photos that will be reproduced will be sharp and blur-free. This can be very handy especially to those users who do not shoot with a tripod or those who would like to capture things under demanding conditions. K-x can also shoot approximately 4.7 images per second, which is an ideal feature for those who want to capture sharp and crisp images of fast-moving subjects.

As for its video quality, the camera is able to record good movie clips at 16:9 proportion (1280 x 720 pixels) at 24 frames per second. Through this, the user can easily reduce the depth of field if he wants to make his subject stand out, or use various interchangeable lenses so he can create distinctive and different visual effects.

Pentax K-x 18-200mm Digital SLR camera is a very good camera to choose especially if you are just a beginner in digital photography. Compared to other cameras, it offers a lower video resolution. However, if you are not very keen on video recording and give more importance to imaging features, this model is the right one for you.
