K-30 ... K-r Replacment?

Aiya... In business sense, it's not a matter of "Might as well sell K5 cheaper..." Similar to selling Nasi lemak... The same stall but at one point of time cook sunny side up egg whereas another time cook scrambled egg.. Then mark as "New!".. LoL!
Ultimately it's good to refresh to stay in business. New AF module in a Kr body and hopefully priced similarly, good already..
Better to have something new than nothing at all, right?

Would it be another white or should I get the blue now;p
Black seems a bit too normal

White then airbrush personal color. Hopefully the lenses that they showd CP+ gets released same time as these K-30
An intro level dslr with high end features- WR, x2 e dials, 16mp with the K5 sensor so will have excellent high iso performance, and a fantastic new multi colour styling.
Looks like it's going to entice a lot of people who want a LOT of bang for their buck in their low level dslr......
....
Which is the perfect incentive to lock people into Pentax..and when they ask- where can I go from here?...
Well, Pentax will have the K-3, a Full Frame Sub $2k camera, waiting for them!
If this is true, my G*d, Pentax will really have gotten off their butt and thrown down the gauntlet to Canikon! ^_^

Sub 2k FF cam? Not that easy at the moment unless it's an old one like Canon 5D...

Haha!! Frank, I honestly think many people will not care so long as it is FF..
Then again, it might also be good since it'll be akin to Pentax taking their first step into Digital FF which will lead to improvements.. Better than not having any hope at all for now, right?
Per se, if there wasn't Canon 5D, there wouldn't be 5DIII now..
And of coz price will reflect accordingly too.. But it's ok I believe..

Sub 2k FF digital?
Already here. I have a few in my dry cab.
In fact its only sub $1000 for 6x7 FF
Its called film and scanner
Part of the problem with Pentax is that everyone thinks its a cheap brand. (including users, and I'm guilty of this too)
It should be priced fairly and comensurate with what is offered.
Smaller cameras and lenses, fully featured and non purposely nerfed cameras, unique lens offerings and performance the better or no worse than any other brand, lens compatibility, plus WR.
Theses should be the distinguishing features of pentax.
Not cheap.
We won't go far if we only think cheap
Cheaper than the competition should be consideted icing on the cake

Well-said! To be honest, if Pentax is expected to be cheap always, aiyooo.... Pentax HQ might as well go down in the next tsunami..
I am hoping that they improve the AFC in the upcoming models. Its really lagging behind the other camera manufacturers. The K5 was a huge step up to me from the Kx in terms of AFS, but lets hope the AFC will be improved next. Implement it in a FF camera paired with FA limiteds and we have a near Leica sized system at less than 1/10 the cost!
I already have a white..hopefully they will release other colours as they did with the first 2 K series.

Hopefully we'd have some handson review soon
Ya totally agree! NICE!
pentax seems to be quite bad at keeping secrets on upcoming product launches ;p k-01 also kena "chow geng" before the official launch.
if this is their idea of "viral marketing", then they really need a new PR firm... its very clumsy

To make Pentax cameras look better, continuously make sure they are wet? :bsmilie:
It looks really small though - wonder what the weight and measurements are like. I might consider grabbing one just for travel, but then again, we need to see what the K5 replacement looks like.
It would be a big plus if this one used the same battery as the K5! Though I very much doubt so.

You mean to do it the Apple way? :bsmilie:
