Managed to grab a few fireworks photos tonight. Noticed them on in the village and grabbed the new K-30 so just about everything is wrong. Not used to the camera yet, only had the DA 40mm Ltd to hand (fireworks were just over half a mile away!) and balanced it on a pile of books in the bedroom window. Very heavy crops, about 1/8 of the original photo, but my first fireworks so pretty pleased with the K-30 despite my best efforts to do everything incorrectly.

Well done Charlotte - really pleased for you.

(I've bought one of the bargain K-30's and will use my K-r as a back up for that if I can't sell it at a decent price. Great price on the K-30, not so great for used K-r prices)

Final reduction to £225 delivered with a shiny new Pentax neck strap. If I have to let it go for less than this I may as well keep it as a back up body. Willing to consider PX for a medium sized Billingham bag in good condition or a DA 55-300 in excellent nick

So now I"m back to square one - can anyone with a K30 already tell me what the low light AF is like? I'm not bothered so much about the K5 II's improved ability to find focus in complete darkness. I'd just rather that whatever new camera I end up with doesn't have the same tendency of my K20D to blatantly fib about having locked focus when presented with indoor lighting
I only received my K-30 yesterday so haven't tried it much yet, but I had no problems auto-focusing in low light indoors last night under 60W lighting, but then I didn't ever find the K-r had a problem either.

The only thing I did notice was that the K-30, like the K-r, puts a strong orange cast on artificial lighting pictures shot with jpeg's and AWB selected. Select tungsten AWB and you are fine. My daughter's K-x is absolutely fine with AWB indoors.

It's been over a week and no payment received and pm's not replied to which is odd, buyer not a new member by any means, but unfortunately I can't hold them any longer so they are up for sale again at £70 including delivery.

I have a spare Pentax original AA battery holder for the K-r or K-30. New and still boxed - only just got it out to test it in the K-r. £22 delivered to UK.
