Wow. thanks for letting me know that the old keh site is still up! also the k-30 is the same damned camera as the k-50, but with arguably better looks. I used one and really liked it, but its definitely not on the same level as the k-5 II in terms of feel and build quality. I meant to add that you should look on keh, but there you go. My current K-5 IIs came from them.
