ConclusionIn short, the K-x offers a lot of what made the K-7 one of the most exciting cameras of the year, at less than half the semi-pro camera's price. In one important way—the new 12.4-megapixel sensor from Sony, a variant of the reigning high-ISO APS-C champ—it even outclasses its big brother. It has the features, handling, and build quality to best most of its rivals, especially given its bargain price. The Nikon D5000 is equipped with a similar sensor and has a tilt-and-swivel LCD, but has an inferior viewfinder, a smaller ISO range, and costs more. The Canon XSI is outclassed in nearly all respects; the T1I puts up a stronger fight. It offers 1080p video recording (albeit at the less-desirable 20 or 30fps framerates), a larger and higher-resolution LCD screen, and a higher-resolution sensor, but inferior continuous shooting rate and a less-advanced autofocus system, not too mention a heftier price tag. With its small size, light weight, attractive color options, advanced functionality, great image quality, and low price, the K-x is a very attractive proposition not only for new dSLR users, but also for those looking for a complement to their existing enthusiast or semi-pro cameras.
I just got one of these, and I love it. They may say it's small, but it's as big and heavier than my Yashica fx103 35 mm film camera. It's a good solid chunk of a camera, not like the original Olympus cameras that came out in the '70s....

It's not in the budget at this time but I like the 'beginner' features. Hmmm... I will put it on the wish list for B-day.
