And as people were asking about the size difference between the K30 and the K5, here are some more pics:

The Pentax K-30 Review is now live, which you can read here:
https://www.pentaxuser.com/review/pentax-k-30-digital-slr-review-573

If you have any questions or comments, please let me know, thanks.

I can import photos from the camera connected to the PC via USB cable, but the Pentax DSLRs don't support tethered shooting*. (Unless you buy the tethered shooting option for the 645D).

*PKTether could be an option, but the K-30 is not listed as being supported.

And yes you're right about 77 segment metering, Pentax are going to update the website, cheers, Josh

Hi, the video options are the same as the K-01, with P/AV/M, Full HD/HD/VGA, 30/25/24fps, quality 3/2/1 star, 5 audio levels, Movie SR (On/off). You can also set custom image (Bright, Natural, Portrait, Landscape, Vibrant, Radiant, Muted, Bleach Bypass, Reversal film, Mono, cross processing), Digital Filter, Metering, Focus (Contrast AF: Face detection, Tracking, Select, Spot), as well as shadow and highlight correction. ISO can't be adjusted unless you are in full Manual mode. In manual mode shutter speed and ISO can be adjusted while recording. Exposure compensation is available while recording video in any mode. White balance can be selected prior to recording but not during.

edit: A couple of videos can be found here:

(Handheld to see how SR copes)

I'll give it a try

Re 16/77 segment metering: I took the specs from the Pentax website. I will ask Pentax to clarify.

On some of the K-30 literature it says "near 100% field of view" and on others it says "approx 100%" (the Pentax UK website says approx 100% for both the K-30 and K-5)

Hi, the review will be in-house,

Here's a quick comparison of the three SLRs, I'll be able to post parts of the review as we go:

Hello,

Does anyone have any specific questions about the Pentax K-30 that they'd like answering?

Cheers,

Josh

I was impressed by the sharpness of images from the K20D, it was used in this article:
