One other thing: with the K-30 (and especially the K-x with its missing front wheel), it feels that there aren't enough controls. The K-5 doesn't have quite as many as my Nikon P7100, but almost everything is well laid-out and I have no complaints. The one thing I'd wish for is that the 4-way controller be a wheel in addition to a joystick, it really makes going through the P7100 menus faster. OTOH, you mostly shouldn't need to use the menu once you have everything set up, and I love TAv mode. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> "Perhaps God rewards martyrs, but life seldom does..." --Ulrika O'Brien -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
