From: "Collin Brendemuehl"
Moving from the K-r to the K30 has been interesting.
1) The in-hand feel is, to me, no big deal. But they are quite different in
fit.
2) The white balance is slightly different between the two. Our FL lights
are two different makes so the lamps, though they have the same K rating,
have a slightly different tone. (The original set has about a year life on
it, so it might be age affecting that as well.) Add to that the camera
differences and we're resetting the WB on each when moving between the two
sites. Understatement alert: This is one area where I greatly appreciate
digital over film.
3) The K30's response to the remote control is quite slow. A lot slower
than the K-r.
Still, it performs well and in a harsh environment the sealing should extend
its life.
On a personal note ... my K-x has sold and I'm getting the K5 tomorrow.
For $800 it's coming with the F50/1.7 and Sigma 70-300 DG lens.
The 50/1.7 will be for sale right away. The Stigma -- I'll have to check it
out first and see how it performs.
K30 is the one Pentax camera I've seen in a store recently and actually
been able to put my hands on. Tiger Direct has them at their outlet stores.
They had the storm trooper K-x too.
