The Pentax K-X is now official

And I got the price, too. The PENTAX K-x (in black and white) will ship in October 2009 in three configurations:

  • Pentax K-x single lens kit with an SMC Pentax DA L 18-55 mm lens, for US$649.95
  • Pentax K-x twin lens kit for US$749.95 (with the SMC Pentax DA L 18-55 mm zoom lens and the SMC Pentax DA L 50-200 mm zoom lens)
  • Pentax K-x twin lens kit for US$849.95 (with the SMC Pentax DA L 18-55 mm zoom lens and the SMC Pentax DA L 55-300 mm zoom lens)

There will also be a red and a navy blue options, in limited quantities.
