Will Cnet likely publish a review of the Kx?

Pentax Kx

I am sure that CNET will review the Pentax Kx.
They are likely waiting to get a production model from Pentax.

I will ask that your post will be forwarded to the people who review cameras.

Got a response from our editors...

They are waiting on Pentax to deliver the K-x as well as the K-7 so they can review it.

Some manufacture are pretty slow to deliver their products to them for review... not sure why, but it happens quite often.

Hopefully they will have it soon.

Cheers!

Wow! Thanks for the responses. Strange that they would be so slow getting the camera out to reviewers.

You would think they would want their products reviewed ASAP

Policies and politics? who knows?

I'm sure the editors are frustrated by the delays also.

Check out the Amazon site on Pentax K-x for some pros & cons...
Batteries must be 2700Amh or it will not fully function....

haven't heard that

From what I've read on dpreview's Pentax forums, any AA batteries will work fully with the camera. Now alkalines won't last long at all, but all others seem to work very well. Most there buy Eneloop batteries because they last the longest per charge.
