The price suggests “entry level” but the features belong in an upper specified DSLR. The K30 feels good in the hand due to its prominent grip and nicely rubberised feel. The rugged body and weather sealing mean it can withstand rough treatment. Image qual
Excellent image quality
Even at high ISO settings
Most affordable all-weather DSLR available
Good complement of all-weather lenses at affordable prices
Anybody looking for an affordable D-SLR primarily for still photography will find it hard to go past Pentax's K-30. It offers an unrivalled range of features and functions in its price category topped by the weather-proofed body and ‘big camera' items suc...
Excellent image quality, even at high ISO settings; most affordable all-weather DSLR available; good complement of all-weather lenses at affordable prices; bright, 100 percent view optical viewfinder
We've said it before and we will no doubt say it again Pentax DSLRs are designed by photographers, not marketing departments. The lovely K-5 competes with cameras that cost hundreds of dollars more and now the K-30 stands above its price level. There is...

The noisy autofocus mechanism is cheap

Abstract: DateAugust 30, 2012 Read later This 16-megapixel DSLR uses, and in some cases improves on, the technology of the excellent K-5. The handsome, ergonomically fine body is polycarbonate over stainless steel, weather-sealed and freeze-proof to minus...
The K-30 merits its Editor's Choice rating for both its imaging performance and for the generous level of features it provides at an affordable price tag. It's an excellent camera for photo enthusiasts. The weather-sealed body is a genuine bonus; add in t...

Maybe, especially if you're planning to wander into a hurricane or a blizzard. (That's probably a bad idea, and even if you're going to do it, you should bring something that shoots better video.)...
Weathersealed body, Stabilised sensor, Detailrich images, Liion or AA batteries
Slow AF with 1855mm lens, No external mic port
The fact that the body is weather-proofed is a huge bonus as one of the main reasons why cameras area sent for repair is water damage. Of course to get the full benefit of the K-30's weatherproofing it needs to be matched with one of Pentax's WR (Weather...
Abstract: Instead of trying to be just another me-too camera, the K-30 from Pentax Imaging is trying to be different, and that’s a good thing. First, there was the introduction of the K-01 mirrorless camera and now there’s the K-30 SLR, for when the going gets...
Decent stills with enough light, Quick response (6 fps), Top-notch screen, Weather-resistance construction
Poor video quality, Very noisy mechanical operation, No HDMI out, Poor flash results
