I moved from the K10D to the K20D to the K7 and now have the K5. I am in the process of purchasing the K30 as a 2nd body to my kit.

The K30 is a great camera to use. Friends who have bought it love the weight and the grip. It can use both the Li-Ion as well as 4 AAs so if you happen to run out of juice for the Li-Ion, the AAs do come in very handy.

Have you upgraded the K7 firmware? I think originally it was just SDHC compatable, which would be 32G max. v1.12 firmware introduced SDXC compatability which would be needed for 64G.

That said I only run a small card in my K7. I do have a larger one in the K-01 which I could test tonight - from memory I'm not sure if that is 16 or 32G though.
Thanks GWing, you put me on the right track. But I made a mistake when I said I bought a 64GB SDHC card; it was in fact a 64GB SDXC card and so the K-7 does need the v1.12 Firmware. My Firmware is only v1.10.

But Pentax says that I need a SD/SDHC blank formatted card of 32GB capacity or larger to do the Firmware Update!!! Can it not be done on an 8GB or 16GB SD/SDHC? That would mean I have to buy a 32GB SDHC just to update to v1.12 so I can use a 64SDXC card !!!! What kind of lunacy is that?

Does anyone know if you can perform a Firmware Update on a K-7 using a 16GB SDHC memory card?

This issue is an octopus ;-(
I used a 2GB card to update the firmware to the latest when I had the K7. I still use the 2GB card to update firmware for my K5 to the latest.

Or you can try www.focusingscreen.com as they have good replacement screens too.

I use the S-Type screen on my K5

I had the grip on my K20D an my K7 but when I got my K5, I gave up the grip. I now use the DA*16-50 and 50-135 with out the grip but it feels lighter than with the grip.

The Kx and/or Kr would have better higher ISO for low light photos.
