WELCOME!
You've come to the right place.
But!
We have to know more about you and what you want to do with your gear.
Portraits? Landscapes? Sports? Nature? Macro?
All of the above?
Your starter kit will take you pretty far as you figure out all the possibilities.
Maybe a flash?
Cheers

And I'm so glad he did!
Many thank's John!
Now, I'm giving up playing at photography and going into the more serious psychic business.

Is there an optical difference between the M and A versions and if so which is better?
Thanks,

Good choice of seller.

I had that Vivitar model - my daughter uses it now. It's very good.
Dial in the ASA, set the Auto switch to green, set the lens to whatever f stop is indicated, set your P30 speed dial to 1/125th, and blast away.
If you can get your hands on a Pentax AF200SA, you can really take advantage of the P30's TTL flash capability. And it is totally coupled to the camera - nothing to set on the flash.
Enjoy!

Did you get a flash - if so which one?
Cheers,

Go to www.pentax-manuals.com (I think) .
This is Kim Coxon's wonderful site. You can download the P30 Manual.
It is a rather sophisticated little camera and worth getting to know.
The magic word is Pentax.

Put in new batteries. The shutter won't fire without them and the advance won't work until the shutter fires.
Hope this helps - I just reviewed this on my P30.
And welcome to the best camera forum in the world.

To answer your original question, yes they are very respectable, honest as the day is long and reasonable.
Heck, they're CANADIAN!
