A quick comparison of the K-5 specs with the K-30 seems to show only
minor(?) differences.
So why buy the two years younger K-30 when the K-5 actually does cost
the same money?
K-5 is a bit cheaper in US, depending where you buy; there were a bunch with
warranty on eBay for $800 recently
i was consider the comparison and found the choice isn't simple — it comes down
to one's personal weighting of several factors
the factors i focused on:
K30: lighter, improves AF, has focus-peaking, can use AA batteries, and has
some better video capabilities
K-5: more dynamic range, better battery life, a top display panel, a quieter
shutter, DOF-preview at the shutter button, slightly faster film advance, HDMI
output, a stronger body, and a better dust removing sensor shake
there are a few other differences, and it really depends what matters more to
you; i weighted it for my own preferences and it came more than 2-1 in favor of
K-5 without considering price
