D5000 vs Nikon Pentax KX?
Nikon D5000 compared with 18-55 and 55-200 mm VR Nikkor Zoom – Pentax KX 780 w / 18-55mm-300mm lens 55 – $ 695 Hi! I am buying my first digital SLR. video feature I liked and I've already ruled out the Canon Rebel T1i yesterday and I was really ready to buy the Nikon, but someone Pentax KX mentioned so I looked and it seems to be cheaper, smaller, and has camera-based ES and therefore cheaper goal (b / C of the D5000 is lens-based IS). However, it is supposedly stronger, slower, has less battery life, and lacks the swivel LCD screen …. and everyone is always raving about Nikon cameras. Which camera is better in the long term and better deal? Thanks
