disappointment to most Pentax aficionados. They have more plastic in them than the previous M series and don't really have better features
than the A series cameras. Their shutters are a bit louder when compared with the other pentax offerings. They were just good basic
cameras that supported the Ka mount lenses. It's just that Pentax built better cameras before and since.

I've been extremely pleased with my P30t, but from what I can see it didn't really hold its value very well - only a few for sale on eBay at lower prices, and they are the cheapest Pentax body on KEH.
Were they overshadowed by the earlier Super/Program series? Was the build quality lower then par for Pentax (hope not)? Or was it just because it was the last MF body series, and everyone was heading for AF?
I was just wondering, as I couldn't really wrap my mind around why such a perfectly decent camera just faded away into obscurity.
