A link on the subject of K-30 vs K-5 http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/42007067
Keep in mind that the K-5 was a flagship product, while the K-30 is a high end entry level. The K-5 maintains the following advantages: 1) faster FPS burst 2) metal body 3) top lcd 4) a few more dedicated buttons 5) faster shutter speed 1/8000 6) wider EV compensation 7) provision for battery grip 8) 14 bit RAW 9) 80 - 51200 ISO 10) expanded bracketing choices 11) expanded user modes 12) wired remote port The K-5 maintains a 1.1 EV dynamic range advantage over the K-30 (which is significant, IMHO). Better high ISO performance also. I personally would not trade my K-5 for a brand new K-30 even if you threw-in $500. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
