The K30 is an actual NEW camera from Pentax.
This thread is about the new K30 that Pentax have just
released and (the thread)will grow quite large and no
doubt new buyers will be trying to read the K30 relevant
stuff between the made up nonsense (some from 3 years ago)
also posted. They have my sympathy
The US Forum already have two K30 threads at 23 and 36 pages

The talk was of a 1.3 x crop factor so it's getting nearer the 135 format.
The sensor would be 15.8 x 15.8 mm which would put it in Sigma Foveon / Four-thirds territory which would (I guess) allow a thinner camera body. Effectively a Four-thirds size body that might take K-mount lenses unless my maths has gone awry!

What has all this nonsense got to do with the K30 The talk was of a 1.3 x crop factor so it's getting nearer the 135 format.
Quote:
+ square image format (1.3X of 35mmFF)
+ 22mp sensor when used in square format (23.5x23.5mm) DFX format
It would be close to being an APS-H sensor as found on the Canon EOS 1D (are we allowed to mention that )+ square image format (1.3X of 35mmFF)
+ 22mp sensor when used in square format (23.5x23.5mm) DFX format

But what if it was square measuring the short length? A miniature sensor in a DSLR....

Nice shots Bob... the lighting on the 2nd is really good considering that it's under a tree... nice backlight on the hair. It's the better of the two pics for me. The B&W is nice, but too long and too much hat, it would probably be better with some of the hat cropped off?

That's two ways of looking at it!

It's hardly surprising that with all the bad publicity caused by posts on forums that followed the previous two cameras that they have just released this straight to the dealers.
Looks a nice enough design although I don't like the position of the mode dial and green button, although it may be better in that position than on the K-5.

That's great Bernard you managed it! There's nothing worse
than stripping a lens down and finding it can't be done
The insulation off copper electrical wire is usually quite good.
Now you have a bit of testing to do
Up to f/5.6 I don't bother opening the aperture. The camera
can focus at f/5.6. Metering is usually spot on at f/5.6
as well.

Algi - good suggestion on cropping the first shot:
She's also central in the crop, which wasn't the case with the original.
