Sep 19, 2009 – The PENTAX K-x DSLR offers high-end features at an entry-level price and will be available in multiple colors including black or white and limited edition colors of red and navy.

The K-x offers photographic performance that challenges higher class DSLRs and offers several features that set this camera apart from other entry-level cameras including, a 12.4MP CMOS sensor with Shake Reduction for stabilized images up to 4 stops, an 11 point wide angle autofocus system for tracking moving subjects and a large 2.7” LCD featuring Live View with contrast, phase difference and Face Detection autofocus for up to 16 faces.

The K-x features powerful automatic shooting modes to help new photographers learn DSL photography while offering several creative processing and filter modes including High Dynamic Range image capture for more advanced shooting. The HDR feature will bracket 3 exposures and then combine them into a single picture with outstanding shadow, highlight and midrange detail. And of course we can’t forget about it’s video recording capabilities. The K-x captures 720p 1280×720 at 24p for the cinematic look using any PENTAX 35mm lens.

PENTAX also announced two new lenses for the K-x, the DA L 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 and the DA L 55-300mm F/4.-5.8 ED super-telephoto zoom lens.
