The k-30 is e current biggest bargain around... But I would still go for a k-5 at least two with a short zoom on one 17-50 2.8 and a medium zoom 50-135mm 2.8 on the other, you just don't have time to mess around swapping lenses at a wedding...

I would also add the 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 to the mix for bridal portraits too...

Yes I've had a few integrals and have lost images on most of them. I still have one in my bag now, but rarely use it.

Can't see why not,mod yo have latest firmware?

Lens correction will cause the writing delay as it has to perform the processing before it can write the file...

I've had warranty repairs carried out by jps with second user pentax gear before. The copy of the invoice had the name and address blanked out and had no issues....

I use Integral Ultra Class 10s 16Gb . Work fine.

I think the bottle neck with the K-5 is the speed of it's own processing and cache size. It could indeed be a lot better
Thanks for that. At the moment I'm getting 4 to 5 seconds of the hourglass just to write a high quality jpeg. Doesn't seem right.

That sounds like there is some kind of in camera processing going on. I can't see that being card related, how fast does it write raw???

For the cost I don't think you can beat the San disk ultra 45mb/s I have the integral and it was alright, I just prefer the reliability of the sandisk...
