Some people say that Pentax KX is the strongest SLR at the entry level. Is that true?
Of course, D90 is positioned as a mid-range machine in Nikon's own half-frame system, which is not comparable to KX. However, after I used D90 for more than one year and fully understood the defect that KX didn't focus on the red dot, I still entered KX. My reasons are as follows:
1. Warranty: I bought KX one month ago, Hong Kong version of single sleeve, 3400, postage 40. The online store has a one-year warranty, and the warranty is nothing to people who enter Pentax. Because, all the old friends know that Pentax has three truths, the picture quality is really good, the accessories are really difficult to buy and the maintenance is really difficult. So even if I buy a mobile phone, the warranty will be sent to Guangzhou, because Pentax's after-sales service is really too little in China, which is no different from buying parallel imports and sending them to online stores and then returning them to online stores.
2, pay attention to the red dot: online KX has no concern, and the person who pasted the film has never used KX or will not use KX at all. Set the center to focus on one point. After focusing, the green light on the lower right is always on, and then the composition is locked, and the film is as sharp as it comes out. This is actually the way most people focus on composition. The same is true of many masters who use N/C in infinity, even if their machines have more than a dozen focus points. Of course, not everyone uses this method.
The biggest disadvantage of no focus and no point is actually at night or in the dark, because there is no red dot, it is difficult for people to see the center of the focus frame clearly. I didn't think of this at first, but on the other hand, I thought that in such a dark place (iso 1600, shutter110), even the shutter speed can't be guaranteed. What's the use of asking for a red dot? If you take pictures on a shelf, the shutter speed is not a problem, and then focusing is not a problem, because since you are on a shelf, you must take pictures slowly. At this time, the focus box is naturally found. But this is definitely a disadvantage.
3, focusing speed: this is related to the light of the lens. In the case of good light, it is absolutely no problem for KX to use condoms, that is to say, where to play. When the light is poor, I will hesitate to pull the bellows, and so will other machines. However, the KX fuselage lacks a focus assist light, which is a disadvantage compared with other fuselage with assistance. Some friends will say that KX's built-in flash can strobe to assist focus, but it is not as good as professional focus assist light. However, other families also have fuselage without auxiliary lights.
4. Lens: This is a big reason why I chose KX, because Pentax has a huge fixed-focus lens group for you to choose from. Except for the expensive Yincui gorge, other fixed-focus lenses are not expensive. After all, there is no weakness in fixed focus!
By the way, because I used D90, I set the target at D5000 at first, and then D3 100, but the two brothers were born without a body motor, which made it impossible to focus the D head manually. I can't stand this, so I won't mention manual focusing. Even manual zooming is too painful. The new G-head with motor is too unkind, each one is more expensive than the other, except for 35 1.8G, but this head can't make up for the regret that the whole D-head group can't focus automatically.
For this reason, I dropped Nikon's entry machine PASS.
Let's talk about Canon. Canon's red circle head is really great, but it's too expensive. Canon's dog head is the best in all families, both in workmanship and imaging. Plus the conversion factor of 1.6, alas, it is difficult to find a head equivalent to 35mm. 24mm imaging is generally better than 20mm in other countries, and the final 24mm is 36 after conversion, while Canon wants to approach 35mm and get a 20mm one. Of course, if you want to learn photography, get a full-frame camera and buy a lens for it in the future. You'd better choose one of Canon and Nikon instead of KX. If it's just for fun or home use, please continue reading.
Sony: This guy is so rich, he has top-notch electronic technology, a post-Minolta optical foundation and an ambiguous relationship with Zeiss. I really don't know if a guy like Sony is stirring shit in the SLR market. Who will be the boss in ten years? From the fuselage alone, in the same price range (licensed to licensed, Hong Kong version to Hong Kong version), its fuselage is the most honest, which is completely the strategy of Tian Ji horse racing. But its lens really didn't impress me, not because of the poor quality, but because of the price. I am a poor man. If possible, I'd like to divide Sony's fuselage and Nikon's D-head into two systems.
Olympic Babi: 4/3 SLR, Olympic Bahrain has several excellent heads, but the bottom is slightly less than half of it, resulting in congenital deficiency. I guess it's no fun to play by yourself now. You can look at its M4/3 system EPL 1, and Panasonic's 20 1.7 is not bad. But I wanted a SLR, so I also bought it.
The 18th letter of the Greek alphabet ... Its X3 base is really good, but the price of the new machine is far from the entry level.
Digress, back to Pentax, you can look at three biscuits, 35 2.4 and 35 2.8 macro 50 1.4 and so on. There are many, and the zoom is 16-45F4 16-50 F2.8, which is of good quality and more generous than its real home.
The lens summary is that if you like to play fixed focus, zoom 16-45 or 16-50 can be satisfied, and KX is recommended. Pentax long zoom lens, also available, the price is not expensive, but the quality is average.
5 accessories: this is more, but the problem is not big. Let's talk about the flash. This is very important. If you want to go, go to Metz 48. I want to go to the good Metz 58 and German lamps. It is said that the original factory is also very good, but it is too expensive. It was cheap two years ago. It is not appropriate to buy original lamps now.
I'm going to put a Metz 48 with PTTL, which can help focus in the dark and make up for the above-mentioned defect that the fuselage has no auxiliary focusing light. It's very powerful.
If you think 48 is expensive, go to Yin Yan and buy an automatic lamp.
If you want to play with lights when you get off the plane, go to Yongnuo 460II.
The biggest disadvantage of Pentax's fuselage, including KX, in flashing lights is that it is difficult to find contact with PTTL. There are online, but there seems to be no transaction record. This is really not as convenient as C/N.
Finally, the master of spring rolls on PCHOME said a word to the effect that in the same period, there was little difference in the image quality of the same level of fuselage, but it was the lens that really decided the image quality. Therefore, you really don't have to worry about whether KX is the strongest entry-level SLR, but consider it from its lens to see if it is what you want.
