It's got a 1/1.7inch backlit CMOS sensor, so it's not built around the K-01 or Q but completely new.

I think the difference is the position of the models face and hair. In the second shot the models face is facing the light, giving better illumination of the face (with less harsh shadow as in the first shot), and also the way the hair is placed on the left, it gives an excellent background to the left edge of the face making the image much more aesthetically pleasing.

Get in touch, sounds helpful

Seems 50/50 ish with half wanting news / reviews on everything Ricoh, and half just wanting it when it's to do with Ricoh/Pentax the company.

Hi everyone,

Would you be interested in seeing Ricoh reviews and news on Pentax User?

Thanks

Josh

I agree with both pentaxophile and wvbarnes. It's interesting to note if you've been watching the price of the Kr, it went down to about £399 (with lens), and now it's very difficult to find to buy, and the price is £429 (and it's purple!)... I expect the K30 price will drop as time goes by and new(er) models are released, but what they will be and how much the new models cost is anyones guess, but as wvbarnes points out they'll probably be expensive to start with

I very rarely buy cameras, as Im normally testing cameras on loan all the time, so if I do have a camera it rarely gets used. However at the moment I have a Nex-3, and an Olympus OMD. WHAT I meant by the comment was that the K5 and Kr are a couple of years old, so very likely to be updated. Without knowing whats going to be announced at Photokina its very difficult to make an informed decision. Id say if you have 600 quid and Pentax lenses then the K30 is a great camera. If you have 700 quid and Pentax lenses and arent bothered about video (and dont want to wait for Photokina), then get the K5.

If I had a camera that I was currently using and happy with, I'd probably wait to see what happens at Photokina Not that I know anything, but it's fairly common for everyone to announce new things at it.

It doesn't have one, you can select the focus point by holding the middle OK button. Or to change the focus mode, you can go into the rear control panel by pressing INFO and then setting the AF Active Area.
