support wireless TTL flash ? for example, Flashes AF 360FGZ ?

not sure I understand this ?
"P-TTL mode with preflash allows for more accurate strobe photography
Wireless P-TTL flash is available when used in conjunction with a second FGZ flash and any PENTAX DSLR"

My trusty k 7 still performing leh... maybe when it finally retires la, then can hoot the k30 :-)

Wonder if it will work even better with my 16-50...?

Holy moly...was interested in the blue one but the price is $150 more than the black one. Maybe the blue one treated with the same process and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Pebble blue..!

Wow! That's great price! Who wants my K5? Silver Limited Edition

Man, that's like less than $650USD body alone! $200USD cheaper than US price!

What is the price you can offer?

I messaged the site via their Facebook page and got this reply (Came in 2 parts):

Dear Adrian,

thanks for your feedback and compliements. For the time being, you can sign up when you make a purchase. We will implement the Sign Up tru the homepage and Contact Details soon. Sorry for the shortcomings, the website is still a Works in Progress and our launch was rushed by the launch of the Pentax K-30

best regards
Ronald

Hi Adrian, you have to sign up by ordering an item. Registration happens at the check out stage. You don't have to pay for the item if you don't want to register.

As said above, you need to actually 'buy' something to be able to register/log in. Just click on 'buy' button and see how it goes

[fengwei]

BTW, I heard this crazy price is only valid for one week! After the 1st launch week, it'd go back to (higher) normal price. If decide to buy, just go and get one

Hmm, I don't really know. Need to get the K30 first ... let's get this off line (pm)

[Zenislev]

Orient Photo K-30 stocks will arrive tomorrow. But for now only have black and white colors, blue may need to wait till month end.

[Fenzi]

How long we need to wait after ordering on-line? Anyone here ordered and received the stock?

[Zenislev]

Hmm...seems like ordering from Pentax web store requires the buyer to self collect at Emjay?

[simon6z]
