Alex, a point to note is the use of batteries. If you get a K-x, then either use Sanyo Eneloop or Panasonic Infinium rechargeables, or if you want single shot, then use the CR-V3 type instead of the AA type.

The Eneloop/Infinium rechargeables don't self discharge like standard NiMH batteries. The CR-V3 can deliver a higher current than AA and this used to give me better AF performance with my old *istDS.

Which 75-300 are they offering as part of the kit at that price? I've only just noticed this detail. Most 2 lens K-x kits are the Pentax 18-55 (surprisingly good lens) and the 50-200 (not a shabby performer and conveniently small).
