Far too unbalanced. It needs a massive crop leaving just the bottom right hand corner with the bridge supports central in the frame.

That's great news. I expect they had to wait for the factory to be doing a production run of lens elements.

I get a strange feeling of having been there before

I like the polystyrene slab tripod

At least it's compatible with an Eye-Fi Card...

Full specs and sample pictures taken with the camera....

I'm more interested in using a lead and would want to transmit the full size JPG straight to a PC which an Eye-Fi Card does quite well on a K-5. I normally use a powerful IR transmitter (to fire the shutter) and it might get picked up by the front sensor anyway or I could fire a WEIN repeater at it for the actual shot.

The problem is the half press to turn the CIF beep on without firing the shutter (it doesn't stay active for long) also I doubt if two Wi-Fi sytems running at the same time would work.

Thanks Jules...... that's pathetic for a mid spec. camera. I can see the reviews flagging that up with a big red-X

At least I can cross it off my list and stay with the K-5 for now.

I wonder why they've switched the LV and View Pics buttons around?
I can't believe it's just to save a Delete button.

The K30 doesn't have any f/2.8 AF points. I assume the K-S2 will have if it's the same as the K-5ii

The K-S2 will be useless without a cord release? I'm considering removing the shutter wire from a release so that it just AF's for CIF testing with a bellows.

If it has IR is it just in front like previous budget lines.

I wonder why it's £55 cheaper from France than the UK.......
Both sold by Amazon........ Can't have anything to do with TAX

Quite basic in the focusing department. Good job no one's interested in how good Pentax cameras are at focusing.
