These are nice yet there's some off about the PP; as said there's a greenish hue and the skies look 'added in' somehow.

If you click on 'All', it will display all Pentax cameras from the istD onwards!

Personally I think if there's a difference, it's very subtle and can be made up for in PP/in-camera settings. And vastly outweighed by the benefits of the newest sensors.

Ha, since when did Pentax users base their buying decisions on what's currentlypopular and sells well

Wifi/4G might be an idea for backing up your pictures as you shoot, but not the sort of thing I'd be that bothered about. Being able to control the camera via an app on your phone, and immediately review images on your phone/tablet screen might be useful though.

Yep coloured peaking (similar to the flashing under/over exposure indication) would be much better than the indistinct shimmer you get on the K30/K01.

When we talk about sales being down 23%, is that the camera market as a whole though, or just the ones we are interested in - DSLRs? I've seen reports that DSLR sales are relatively unaffected by the migration to smartphones affecting the compact sector.

As long as Pentax (I mean Ricoh!) can continue to push out K mount bodies and lenses, and survive, I am happy. They don't necessarily have to topple C&N. Just keep on producing great cameras that *enough* people want to use to keep the camera division viable. FF would be nice if they can make it viable, but in all honesty if I went FF I would probably have to pick up an older s/h Nikon body.

Side note OF COURSE a FF body is going to shift less units than an entry level camera like a K30. The fact that current full framers don't show well amidst the sub-$700 cameras in the BCN ranking shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone! Does this mean that FF cameras are by their nature 'unviable products'? ;P

I've been on a low carb diet for the past five days. .. so all I'll say is. ..

THESE LOOK PRETTY DAMN GOOD TO ME!!! :/

Now THAT'S not a boring shot!
