This store now seems to have a full range of Pentax kit except flashes and the 645D, even all the K30 colours

What did you think of the K30 in blue?
Best regards, John

It's a bit more Star Wars than I had imagined

I believe you can get the K-r in pink (if you're of that persuasion)

I was in one of the Saturn stores in Berlin last week -- it's a 'pile it high, sell it (not particularly) cheap' sort of operation. It seemed to have most of the current Pentax line-up, though not yet the K5II/s. The K30 in blue looks great in the ads but I was a bit disappointed by that colour in the flesh. Still, it was good to see so much displayed in a mass-market retailer, though if you wanted a choice of lenses you'd probably come away disappointed.

Interesting CMW - Saturn in the Netherlands only stocks the usual suspects - Canon, Nikon and Sony .

The blue finish is much brighter and shinier than I had imagined and the camera is bigger too. The shop had a good selection of lenses although I didn't look to see which ones because my car was on a yellow line outside; I'd already waited ages because the customer in front was showing off his brand new iPhone, iPad and Canon with a big white lens but didn't seem to know what kind of memory card it took and then didn't buy one anyway.
