Not much help here. I'm using a Pentax K20D which I still like a lot. I heard some good things about the high iso qualities of the Kx but haven't used one or even held one. It is an entry level DSLR though, just for that reason I would not buy it. I want easy control over at least the basic functions without getting into menus and penlite batteries suck, I had them in my previous DSLR and they give trouble at low temps and run down way too fast. Or buy one of these. Great little camera!

Also, not sure if it has the AF motor inbuilt into the body? It seems to, but information on this is always tricky to find it seems?! The review also says it's slightly more expensive compared to the competition... I'm not sure how the model numbers for Canon, Nikon or Olympus really work to be honest. Which camera's are close in price, generally good all rounders, and have the stabilization and AF motor built into the body? I know i'm being lazy, there's just too much to choose from, too much information, and I don't know where to even start! I read a review for a Canon on Digital Camera Reviews and News: Digital Photography Review: Forums, Glossary, FAQ - only to find it's a $5000 body Canon EOS 500D / Digital Rebel T1i Review: 29. Conclusion: Digital Photography Review The Olympus E620 has very few cons according to dpreview's review, and it's slightly cheaper than the Canon too... I'm struggling to find whether the E620 has an inbuilt AF motor though, and IS in body. I was concerned that it's a four-thirds camera, but the review seems to show that it doesn't suffer from the normal four-thirds problems with high ISO, and little control over DOF? Olympus E-620 Review: 31. Conclusion: Digital Photography Review Anyone with an E620 or 500D? Any opinions? Any views over these compared to the Pentax? Matt |
