Fantastic shots. Makes me wanna go buy one now hehehe
JK, you make me miss my K5 and FA 31. Thanks for your wonderful review.
View of the 101 from higher ground -a relief to be carry a less encumbering setup like the K30 and small primes
No joke as it was 10mins continuous fast pace up the flight of stairs up to the vantage point. (a decent pace as most guides say it needs to be 15-30mins)
Handling
In the hand, the camera feels pretty solid.
Plastic casing of the body is smooth, hard, sort of like perhaps a fridge or kitchen appliance.
A good thing, as its not some 'knocky', light feeling plastic that can sometimes be found on low end bodies.
The grip is deep and reassuring.
I find the weight to be good, not being overly heavy.
Top view - Quite a wealth of buttons for fast access
2 custom modes that can be configured by the user marked U1/U2 (again often a higher end camera feature)
Back view - Plenty of buttons arrayed to the right, so its easily accessed with the camera holding hand (with one hand)

Side view (left) - the RAW switch and AF mode switch
Theres plenty of buttons for fast access on the K30.
Some like the 2 dials, RAW/AF buttons are customizable too.
There are also 2 custom modes that can be saved by the user on the top dial.
For even more options, there is also the quick menu, which can be accessed at the push of the 'INFO' button.
Quick Menu -offering more often used settings not on the hard buttons
Great review on the K30. You provided a user practical user perspective bundled with great photos. Lovely limited lens...especially the FA Limiteds
Great review c/w awesome photos, JK. KUDOS to you!!
:thumbsup::cheergal:
Good detailed and balanced review.
very nice photos of taiwan you have. and k30 is a good camera and enjoy it. thanks for the review.
Nice review as usual JK
Think this will increase the Pentax sale . Too bad I don't own a k30. Else will help to promote this thread
its a good camera and good picture.
can i have one....
is anyone know how much the price
just LOVE the layout of all the buttons and controls ...very logical ... was out with a CS'er recently who was shooting with it and i could see access to controls were super easy
just not too keen on the funky blue color of his the body
Yes Yes.. just love the colours.
The Glossy Red is very nice. Reminds me of the Limited 645D. Droolz..
Looks like you got more than 1 K30
