gummy73 said:Hahah bro..O still waiting..but what i want to see is the improve auto focusing first..if they have really improve on tat..i think the K5 sucessor or the future FF will sell like hotcakes but of course this is only me..Like some other think that the auto forcus does not affect their shooting its ok.But i must said Pentax is not CHEAP but Value For Money!!!! which i can said no other brand till now can compare!!!
waiting for the K-5 replacement. If AF for k-30 is good, I won't hesitate get one the first day it is available...
I think for me i will wait till i hear more about its performance... anyway my K-5 is only 6 mths old...
The lighter weight and cheaper camera body (in case of robbery or theft overseas in not too safe places) is attractive to me, and so too is the promise of a revised AF system .
If someone offers to buy my K5, I'd be willing to switch.
Its more like a conscious lateral move than an up/down grade IMO. (win some lose some)
Otherwise, I'll wait to be wowed by K5 replacement or K-FF
Err... If yours currently black in color, then get a black one too?
the missus using pentax too.. haha hers is k-x so don't think can hide like that...

Likely not possible to mount a grip as no contact point are visible on the base of the camera.
Any reason why Kr and now K30 do not allow mounting of grip? Adding contact point increase the camera cost significantly?
Why would you need a grip?
Modern day Lithium batteries have made the need for one less necessary.
The only use is for the extra portrait orientation button.
Beside the additional battery life, I found that the camera weight is more balanced. I have handled my friend's 60D with a battery grip. Although its heavier, I can hold it longer than my Kr without feeling the strain. Maybe I got weak hand, thus more sensitive to this.
