I agree entirely Bipin. I don't think there is a single thing that is different from the K-30 to the K-50 outside of the change in body shape. That the buttons on the back are all in the same exact place tells me that the K-50 is just a K-30 in sheep's clothing. I think its great that Pentax at least decided to offer some enticing features on their entry level models, but you know, even something as simple as a tilting LCD would have made a new camera at least *seem* worthwhile. Honestly I don't know what's going on with Pentax/Ricoh currently. I see a lot of wheel spinning but no real progress.
