Help me to choose between Pentax k-x and Canon rebel xsi?

Question

I have read a lot of reviews. Also I have gone over many answers in yahoo answers. Still I cannot take a side. Please give me solid reasons for your choice.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

I would get the Pentax K-x. While both are excellent cameras, the Pentax K-x offers these advantages:



*Pentax K-x has higher ISO setting of 3200, 6400 (100-12800 with boost) while the Canon XSi only goes to 1600 ISO. This can make a big difference when shooting in low light situations. The first website link below is to a side by side listing of the features and specs of the 2 cameras. This listing page also has links to reviews with sample images from the camera.



*The Pentax has a higher rated image sensor. The 2nd website link below is to DxO Labs to a page

showing the sensor rating for both cameras.



*Image Stabilization, it is in the body and it appears that it being in the camera body means it can help with a great variety of lenses.



*The Pentax has HD video which could be a nice extra.



*The Pentax costs less, here is a quick price comparison of prices from B&H Photo:



EOS Rebel XSi (1000D) 12MP DSLR Digital Camera Kit w/18-55mm IS Lens - $560

Pentax K-x 12MP DSLR with 18-55mm Zoom (has HD Video also) - $514



I also added a few websites that are good to shop for deals and offer cutomer reviews.



Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Simple case.



Got lots of money? Get the Canon. You'll love their lens line-up so splurge your hard-earned cash on those white Image Stabilised lenses. You'll benefit from updated technology and be the envy of everyone else. Well everyone except for the kids with Leicas and Hasselblads hanging from their necks of course.



Okay? No?



Well, the Pentax is a brand for experienced users. Their lens line-up is limited to a few essentials. Why? You have all those old and cheap film lenses that are still compatible to your new digital body. As long as it was built for the Pentax, you can use it. Some will need a cheap adaptor but useable just the same. The problem is that you would have to shoot manually most of the time. Don't worry. Even with those old antiquated but with exceptional glass quality lenses, the lightmeter works enabling you to use aperture-priority. The best part is even an all manual lens will benefit from Shake Reduction and focus confirmation. If you know what a Super Takumar can bring out in your shots then you can appreciate what I am saying here.

Answer 3

The Pentax has the best high ISO quality for any camera in it's price range. It can also take very good quality HD video. Pentax also uses in camera image stabilization, so it will work with any lens. You can also use any old lenses Pentax has ever made for film or digital SLR cameras. You can get some old great quality manual focus lenses dirt cheap. I use both Pentax and Canon, and between these two, the Pentax is my choice.

Answer 4

The main difference between them is that Canon uses in-lens stabilization. This means that image stabilization is dependent upon the lens and so you must buy stabilized lenses to take advantage of that feature. Pentax uses in-body stabilization so all lenses that fit the cameras are stabilized.
