Well four years on. I opted for the white after all that. It does look really cool actually and gets quite some attention when I'm out in public with it. Great camera, I'm happy!

Hi. Me too, as in your heading.
I did join a few years ago but have been dormant.
Hopefully that may change now!

Hi Andrew, sorry you must have posted whilst I was typing so didn't see your comment!
Yes I'm sure you may be right there, but black was not an option for me personally

Thanks for the replies.
I don't think it's necessary to have run comparitive tests out on the colours, other than for fun as it is personal preference. The camera itself is the priority as already mentioned.
I just wanted to see the colours for real, rather than just images, to help me better make my choice there.
PC/Curries I wasn't impressed with I'm sorry to say. They lost a potential sale from me because of their poor all round service. It is not just today either,but also last week, but I won't bore you all with the details.
There was a good local family store in one of the arcades who were very helpful. They said they would try and get me the blue too if they could, though didn't think it was available. But even though they were much smaller than the other major stores I tried today and earlier in the week, they DID have the K-30 in store on display, which was impressive. They were the only retailers who actually did have it, some could order from their warehouses but others didn't even have that option, they had just stopped stocking it. The white is good too. I don't actually live in Cardiff, it is the nearest main retailers (allegedly haha!)I flipped a coin or something similar and have opted for the scarlet one, it can be bought online at least! Thanks though, looking forward to buying, owning and playing with it!

Hi all, I am about to purchase a K-30 but just cannot decide on the colour. I was sure I wanted blue but now I've seen images of the chrystal red and also the Bordeaux I just cannot decide! I have also been looking locally to try and find a store where the coloured ranges are being displayed so I could better decide. Alas, few stores even sell this camera here, let alone the non black option. I thought a large place like the capital city of Wales would have more on offer but it seems I will have to look online instead. I don't mind buying online but it's nice to be able to view something tangible first. Oh well lol
