Very interesting. The difference in button layout between my K-x and K-5 is the biggest hassle in switching between them. I do really wish that the K-5's review button was in the same place as the K-r, so that I could review a shot without using my left hand, taking my left hand off the lens, or whatever. How does the K-30 compare in size and weight with the K-5, vs the K-r/K-x/Km? It sounds like it might be a very good compromise for backpackers like my friend Candace, for whom image quality and weather sealing are issues, but so are size and weight. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
