The most colorful DSLR: mileage diagnostics PENTAX K-x

PENTAX K-x (2009) entered the Guinness Book of Records as the DSLR with the largest number of color options - more than 100 color options! Behind the extravagant appearance were decent technical characteristics: a 12.4-megapixel sensor, a speed of 4.7 fps, Full HD video and the use of AA batteries. The bright design attracted a wide audience - from youth to collectors. Today it is a rare device with an unpredictable history.

The colored K-x was often perceived as a "glamorous" accessory and was heavily used at parties, outings and travel. Her story often consists of thousands of everyday shots. Don't let the bright casing distract you from technical diagnostics.

K-x shutter life and features of AA batteries

The K-x shutter is designed for an estimated 100,000 guaranteed operations. The use of AA batteries meant that owners often changed the power source in the field while continuing to shoot non-stop. The optimal mileage when purchasing is up to 30 thousand.
