Fantastic camera for a fantastic price!

The Pentax K-r is pretty much just an upgraded version of the K-x. It is a really nice camera and I love using it for taking pictures of everything. It comes with both the 18-55mm and the 50-200mm lenses so that is really helpful. The only negative point on the lenses is that they aren't so good in low-light but overall they are great. You can't find a better deal, you'll love it! This is my first DSLR and I am very happy with it.

Great DSLR

I am absolutely in love with this camera. The image quality as well as the video capabilities have far exceeded what I expected. I initially wanted to grab a Nikon D90 but am glad I picked this up as the price and quality is top notch. I have already taken many landscape and wildlife shots with this camera and it is excellent in low light situations. Cannot wait to purchase a prime lens for this.

About Pentax K-r DSLR Camera with 18-55/50-200mm Lens, Black

The Pentax K-r Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm and 50-200mm Zoom Lenses is that lightweight, mid-range 12.4MP digital SLR camera with two zoom lenses that also shoots dazzling 720p HD video that you've been looking for. It's got a few other things going for it, too-like a high resolution 3" LCD display with 930,000 dots, up to 6 frames per second shooting speed, super-accurate 11-point autofocus system, sensitivity up to 25,600 ISO so you never miss a photo due to low light, shutter speeds up to 1/6000 second to freeze the action and dual power options, either rechargeable Li-ion or easy-to-find AA batteries.

The 18-55mm lens provides very wide-angle to normal views that will cover a surprisingly wide range of photo opportunities, while the 50-200mm lens covers the normal to telephoto range with ease.

That's not all: the K-r has an efficient dust removal mechanism that automatically shakes dust off the CMOS sensor, a custom image function for applying one of nine creative modes (such as Bleach Bypass, a dramatic effect used in movies) to any particular image you wish, a digital filter function with a choice of 18 filters to process images without a computer (including Starburst, Sketch, High Contrast, Fisheye, Toy Camera, Posterization, Retro, etc.), an upgraded HDR (High Dynamic Range) function to create a superb image in difficult lighting situations (by combining 3 different exposures of the same scene) even when not using a tripod and 3 different cross processing options to create dramatically different colors. It even has a high-speed infrared data transmission system--the first in a Pentax camera.
