Best price found so far,
K30 with 18-55mm DA-L for £559 at Mathers of Lancashire. £699 with 18 -55 DA-L and 55-300mm DA-L.

Their website is currently down but a call will confirm these prices, cameras are UK stock with two year warranty and they are a Pentax Pro Centre.

Is this for the K5 body only ?

With the K30 beginning to ship it would be good if forum members would update this thread with the K30 best price.
I am almost certain that I saw the body for £549 at Mathers but the site is down so cannot confirm.
Probably best if we keep to UK stock rather than the ebay grey import stuff.

If you used pressurised anything and got away with it then count yourself very fortunate. Usually what happens in the case of canned air is that moisture is blasted on to the sensor and evaporates very quickly.Not sure about nitrogen but still not recommended. It then becomes a huge and very delicate operation to remove.
I know you have been successful but there is only one method that I would ever recommend and it is this one,

Many many sensors have dust with users totally unaware because they seldom shoot small apertures. The sensor has to be pretty contaminated to see dust at say f8,but at f13 it will show, at f22 it will be glaring.

I was going to buy one of the K-R's listed for sale today but whilst waiting for offers to be accepted I read another review from dcresource. The review is difficult to make sense of, the conclusion id that the K-R is one of the best dslr's (at that time)
"The Pentax K-r is one of the best entry-level digital SLRs on the market".

- BUT then the conclusion states this
"Photo quality is very good, though the K-r has some room for improvement. Exposure was the weak point, with the camera tending to underexpose by 1/3 or 2/3 of a stop. Highlight clipping was also a common sight.
I am lost how that fits in with the earlier comment ??.
Am I being an idiot here ? everyone above disagrees but why is the review so critical of highlight clipping,
I am now totally cheesed off, been at this for days and getting nowhere fast- think I'll just go for a K5 and live on Spam for a month.

Another pm sent

Quite a few users report this but the reviews are not good

Pentax

Just wondering if anyone using this set-up would care to comment on their experience.
