Review of the K-30 by a shy Pentaxian

[sunnycamera]

Is the white selling in Singapore glossy or matte? Blue is glossy rite?

white is matte, black is matte, blue is glossy

check fengwei's K30 camera album, you will see all 3 color under the sun.

I have checked with both SLRR & OP, they only sell with kit lens. They don't sell body only.

buy the K30 with DA 40 XS kit, then sell DA40 XS, DA40XS is quite easy to sell and quite popular as well.

It's been out for a while, enough reviews on the internet, still need more review?

I myself sold the K5 (Silver Limited Edition!) shortly after I got the K30, no regret so far The only thing I'm not very happy is the battery (good enough for general use, but hope it can last a bit longer), but I guess we are spoiled by the super long battery life of K5.
