I tried the K-30 in a store and felt the viewfinder was definitely brighter (and larger?) than my K-r. I wouldn't have bought the K-30 for that improvement alone, but the weatherproofing, amongst other factors, makes the difference for me.

For sale due to upgrade a Pentax K-r which was purchased in August last year. It's in excellent condition with a shutter count of 6714, though that might rise very slightly in the meantime. The LCD screen has a few light surface scratches if you look very closely in the right light, but nothing of any consequence. There are a couple of specks of dust in the viewfinder, but these obviously don't transfer on to any pictures.

I don't have the original kit lens so it's body only, but does come complete with the original box manual and packaging, USB cable, battery charger and battery, plus the original body cap. Also included are two after market spare batteries and a replacement neoprene neck strap (more comfortable than the original!), all in excellent condition as well.

Looking for £250 for the lot including delivery by RMSD

I have similar concerns with the weight of kit and seriously thought about selling my K-r and getting something smaller ie. not another DSLR. The problem is having had a succession of smaller cameras the image quality and low light capabilities aren't a patch on my K-r and I know I would regret it.

I've solved the problem for the time being with the purchase of a DA 40mm Ltd as my walk around lens. I wouldn't say it quite makes the K-r pocketable, but it's a very small package considering the image quality you get - certainly no bigger in practical terms than some of the mirrorless/bridge cameras. I have absolutely no problem carrying it around all day and am disabled with neck/back/shoulder problems.

As for the low light question earlier, my K-r is excellent and I have some examples if you want them.

Thanks folks. The fact that they've stated I can't track it made me think they've sent it by the dreaded Yodel :/
Mine was Royal Mail. Don't get me started on Yodel.......

Not very accurate, shipped on Monday, ETA was Friday, came Wednesday. Didn't need signing for if you have a safe place you can specify.

Hi Charlotte

Speaking for myself I thought you were both polite and patient. Had it been me I'm certain I would have escalated things way before you did.

Fingers crossed everything gets sorted and I'd certainly be interested in the final outcome as another K-r owner.

One last bump - just noticed it's still in the cupboard... A great bag, pretty much as new, at an absolute bargain price of £40 delivered or £35 collected (Norfolk)

It's actually this one:

Original link was to a black one - mine is the much more exclusive black and red
