K30 price drop and cashback
I've now changed my mind about 4 times regarding this deal. I was fairly set on a K5 II because low light AF is the one big improvement I'd like over my K20D (the other improvements are more nice-to-haves). But getting a K30 with weather sealing and dual dials (but no top screen) for less than half ...

So now I"m back to square one - can anyone with a K30 already tell me what the low light AF is like? I'm not bothered so much about the K5 II's improved ability to find focus in complete darkness. I'd just rather that whatever new camera I end up with doesn't have the same tendency of my K20D to bla...

It should have had the hood... I'll sort this out tomorrow when I'm back in the shop. Can you send me a PM with your order number? Thanks, Chris

I'm always amazed when someone posts something critical on the Internet when a simple phone call would have quickly resolved a simple omission Explanation - the lens was in a box printed to show the lens with a hood, but boldly printed "DC Only". I took that to mean that my order was complete. ...

Great, thanks for the quick replies/info. When you say it's not there on the rear LCD all the time, do you simply hit the 'display' or 'info' type button to display the current setting info? That sounds like an ok work around. Yeah I'm obviously used to having the top display, but I'm fine if...

Great, thanks for the quick replies/info. Can you not just hit the info button 3 times? On the Kr this switches off the display. I learnt this because it was irritating to have the screen on whilst composing through the viewfinder! Mac When you say it's not there on the rear LCD all the tim...

Those Bristol reviews are pretty clear... Still waiting to hear back from SRS but hope they'll come through with something, if even free shipping really. Am not local so will be ordering through the website so want to give a heads up about my order in advance. Will let you all know what I hear ...

Still waiting to hear back from SRS but hope they'll come through with something, if even free shipping really. You definitely get that. All you need to do is make sure they know your Pentax User forum login ID. You put that and a note about free P&P in the "Cutomer Notes" section of the online o...

I have usually been unimpressed by duty free prices, and also where would the back up be? Why not give Pentax a ring though and ask them. It's the only way you will be sure.

K7 vs K30
1. Yes. 2. It does not look or feel as nice, but feels solidly put together. The matt black version doesn't feel as nice as the gloss white (or blue, but the blue colour is hideous in the flesh, IMHO!) 3. There are less on-body controls, so you may need to menu dive slightly more often to change A...

K7 vs K30
I'm in the same dilemma now, have a K7, was looking to upgrade to a K5 at some point. Now the K30 price means I could get it now, I know I'll miss the top LCD and metering switch, but I'll gain the high ISO performance and I think that will be worth it. I have one concerns though, What is this K30 ...

K7 vs K30
I decided to go with the K30 and picked one up at the weekend, not had a lot of time to play with it yet, but initial impressions coming from a K7 are: - Body does feel a bit light (not flimsy though), and the shutter noise is louder and also a less refined sound. - So far have not really missed...

pentaprism vs pentamirror
Hi, I had a KX and then KR before my K5 this year. The K5 pentaprism is much brighter for manual focus with even slow kit lenses. It doesn't seem to get dust in it as with the cheaper mirrors in the unsealed entry models. The K30 will be a big improvement I'm sure. No method is a bright or as ...
