Pentax K-30 Price Question

Hey all, so I have two options for buying a k-30;

1. Buy body-only from SRS for £380, only 440 actuations.
2. Buy with 18-55mm DA L kit lens (not WR) for £370 - like new condition (but white colour).

I realise the latter deal is good, but I'd like a WR lens. Should I just sell the DA L lens, and buy a WR 18-135/18-55mm? I really don't mind the white colouring, in fact I like the casual attitude it conveys.

... or for £30 more a K5 with 10 months waranty left.

Absolutely George! Go for it Tobinobin

Another vote for Flether8's K-5

...coupled with tyronet2000's 18-55WR

or an ex-demo K-5 from SRS with 2 years warranty for £479: link

I'll vote for Fletchers K-5 shame he wasnt selling it when I got my K-30!

I chose the K-30 guys! A few things really stuck out to me on the k-30 (improved video, better autofocus, peak focus, updated sensor, lighter, newer technology, cheaper). A lot of features like the top LCD, battery grip option, slight improvements in shutter speed, more buttons etcetera I feel would be a bit wasted on me. I'll probably upgrade to a K5-II or something in the distant future, who knows.

I think that you were blessed with a win win situation! but great choice, after seeing sense I returned to Pentax after a regrettable fling with a D7000.

the K30 is a brilliant camera, and it recently won for me a novice section of a club competition.

enjoy it
