This is a decently specified, affordable camera in the same mould as the Pentax K-m. They’re roughly the same size and weight, both have a 2.7in LCD screen and the button layout on the back is identical. The differences are internal: the K-x specifies the improved PRIME II engine and a 12.4MP, rather than 10.2MP sensor. The K-x’s sensor is a CMOS chip, and that means HD video. It records in Motion-JPEG AVI format and you can choose from 1,280 x 720 (720p) at 24 frames per second or 640 x 480(480p).
