The main reason we bought it was we read it was great for low-light pictures and home births are generally done in dim lighting. This article helped convice us as well. We weren't disappointed, especially considering the lighting was very dark and she only used the kit lenses which are not meant for low-light shooting. We now have a better lens and can't wait for the next birth to see the results. About the batteries: I am very happy with Sanyo Eneloops! They last for over 1000 shots without flash and can be bought on Amazon.com cheaply. I actually bought a bunch of them for other purposes as well.

I really love it and have nothing to fault the camera for. I would like to mention to anyone looking for GOOD rechargeable batteries, one of the things that you point out as an issue with the camera, to check out Power Geniz NiZn Batteries. I can get off 800-900 shots (flash, no flash, rapid shot, etc) before I have to recharge a set of batteries. They are rated at 2500mWh and a set of four with a charger will set you back about the cost of 2.5 pack of 4 lithium batteries. I am aware that Sanyo makes a good set too, but I do not have them, and do not know anyone that has them. I actually bought this camera because it had the AA instead of a outrageously priced extra battery. Just my two cents.... thanks for the input on my great decision to purchase this camera! I will say that the flash photography with the camera is a bit tricky, and I'm still working with that. I already bought this camera, in part to your review.

Just remember to read earlier posts about battery recommendations, so you won't run out of steam midway during your trip. Sounds like an exciting adventure. Have fun. Drew – I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

I found it new with a 2 lens kit (18-55 and 50-200) for $570 online. Compared to the Canon and Nikon offerings it seems as though it's a steal. Anyways, thanks for giving me more confidence with my decision!

I haven't worked with the D5000, but from what you're telling me, I'd say go with the K-x.

I have a couple of young kids and they are now getting involved in sports (gymnastics and soccer), so I am looking for a good camera that can catch sports action indoors and outdoors. I have compared canon t1i, nikon d5000 and now the pentax k-x. If each cost the same which would you recommend? Thanks much. Jack-

As for prices, all prices drop after a few months. Would you rather sit around and wait for the price to drop further, which might - and I emphasize "might" be in another few months - or buy the camera and enjoy the experience now? Your call. I wouldn't wait. There will always be a lower price or a new camera in the wings and you shouldn't be guided by "what-ifs" but rather by "I know this is what I want and need now." My pleasure, Kate.
