Pentax Launch KM SLR In 100 Colourways!

05/10/09

The new Pentax K-x DSLR is going to be available in 100 different colourways, sadly, initially only in Japan, but who knows it may be such a popular entry-level DSLR that this colour coding of your choice comes to the UK as well! Personally I think this will prove to be very popular and an inspired move by Pentax to make your camera stand out from the crowd! Read on and see that Pentax are also offering a camera with some very high-end features, including Full HD video capture and face tracking and detection.

However, onto the camera that we DO know about, the K-x. The shortlist of important features is here:

* High resolution 12.4 megapixel CMOS image sensor features sensor-shift Shake Reduction for stabilized image and video capture up to 4 stops max.
* Large 2.7 inch LCD features Live View with contrast, phase difference, and Face Detection autofocus (up to 16 faces).
* Capture widescreen HD video in full 720p resolution (1280×720) at 24 FPS cinematic framerate, using any PENTAX 35mm lens.
* Highly compact DSLR body design allows for 1 handed operation and comfort when travelling.
