Pentax K30

[andicole0]

Anyone got one? I'm seeing reviews showing it to be 'better' than a Nikon D7000 and it's cheaper. Anyone have a comment?

Why is the k30 better?
Both have the same sensor, the same LCD and a similar pentaprism (d7000 slightly better), saw speed.

The d7000 has a far better AF system, better menus, better body, better lens selection.

The k30 is a great camera but you shouldn't be shorted sighted. You are buying into a system.

Just looking at a couple of reviews

They come out quite close but the Pentax is cheaper.

Those aren't reviews but a garbage caparison of useless facts with meaningless ordering. Why is it that a camera that is 2mm shorter some how better than another? let alone half the stuff is completely wrong for starters- e.g. they use the same sensor, so who gives 2 hoots that one is 0.1mm shorter on one side?

Who the heck some up with such junk.

OK so how would you separate the two without actually using them?

By looking beyond the body and checking out some of the stuff that attaches the front and top of it.

Its there where Pentax just can't compete and where the D7000 becomes a better option.

OK, but my intention is to use a third party lens at least initially so the specification of the camera body is something to look at.
