The K-x e-book has all you need.

Thanks for your response. No, I wasn'...Hi Yvon. Thanks for your response. No, I wasn't missing your point. I understood that part of it completely. I was merely adding to this section of your original post: <br /><br />"I listed the differences between the two cameras below:"<br /><br />.....and then you went on to list several of the key differences....ones that you stated clearly did not constitute a good reason for writing another e-book (and I would agree). I only wanted to add to that specific list because I hear so many people say it isn't worth the extra money for the K-r from the K-x. Since some of that is subjective and some of it is quantifiable, I simply wanted to list a couple of things that weren't mentioned. It was not meant to be critical, and my sense is that it was not a cognizant oversight on your part. Though if it was, suffice to say everyone has their own view of what constitutes a key difference. <br /><br />If my comments are out of order in the sense that you feel they obfuscate your original intent, please feel free to delete them. Otherwise, my hope is that some readers may consider the other differences and understand the context for which I presented them here.:-) <br /><br />Keep up the good work! <br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530917174837999406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-11665935393520886462011-05-30T17:06:35.451-07:002011-05-30T17:06:35.451-07:00Mark, you may be missing my point.

It is my opinion that the K-x and K-r, which have the same sensor, operate almost the same way. If you know how to use the K-x, you know how to use the K-r. What would I write about a 920,000 dots screen or improved live-view speed. These are static changes that you cannot change. They may be more differences between the two cameras, but none, (other than what I already mentioned in the blog), that are user changeable and that you would require learning how to use it..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363645754592641317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-26558767168522034272011-05-30T14:08:13.351-07:002011-05-30T14:08:13.351-07:00Oh yeah.....I almost forgot, the live view focus s...Oh yeah.....I almost forgot, the live view focus speed and accuracy on the K-r is significantly improved over the K-x.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530917174837999406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-41929589794934905492011-05-29T21:32:26.193-07:002011-05-29T21:32:26.193-07:00You made note of the screen size difference, but I...You made note of the screen size difference, but I also think it's worth mentioning about the disparity in resolution....the K-r has 920,000 dots vs. 230,000 for the K-x. This difference really accentuates the extra .3 inches as well.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530917174837999406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-83509981148291328342011-05-27T01:16:43.294-07:002011-05-27T01:16:43.294-07:00Nice simple article.

In the end I went for the K-7 (got it for a good price). the K-R is different but similar, if you know what I mean, whereas the K-7 is a new beast altogether. Even if the ISO is worse...Patrick Dinneenhttp://www.photoblog.ienoreply@blogger.com
