Rated 5 out of 5

Glad I chose Pentax

This was my first DSLR upgrade from years of film/point and shoot cameras. I couldn't be more pleased. The learning curve is easy and continues at a steady pace. The build is solid and quality of the images is like none I've experience personally before. The weather sealing, low temperature ability, and internal options put me over the top from the Canon T4i I had been saving for. It's nice that my old Pentax manual lenses can be used, and the K-30 has internal stabilization as well. Video is good, but not the greatest even though it's full HD.

So happy with my purchase

I bought the K30 as an upgrade from my KR, and I am so happy I did. I never was satisfied with the picture quality (focus and color quality) with the KR and photos on the K30 are gorgeous. The camera is well balanced and comfortable in your hand and just the right weight. The LED screen is bright and sharp and easy to see in daylight. I've always used the viewfinder because I have trouble seeing the LED, but I may change that practice with the K30. Except -- the viewfinder is so large and bright, I may just stick with what I'm comfortable with.I've only had the camera a short time and have yet to try out all the available bells and whistles -- but I can't wait to have some dedicated time to do so. I would highly recommend this camera to others. My only con is that the shutter click is kinda loud - but that's a small nit given overall camera features.
