What is the difference between the K-5 and the K-30?

Recommend going here: http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/cameras. You can compare the K5, K5II, K5IIs and K30 all side by side in all areas. Hope this helps.

I don't know all of the differences but the obvious one is the HF-5 doesn't appear to have a microphone or inline controls and the HF-2 does.

I really didn't consider K-3 or K-50. The K-5IIs is a very nice camera that takes fantastic pictures. Its sturdy and extremely well built and feels like it will last. Shutter has a nice crisp sound and feel. Would maybe have been nice to have Wi-Fi built in, but I bought Eye-Fi SD card and that works reasonable well as well.

"K" is color temperature, in Kelvins. 2700K is a "warm" (aka: closer to orange/red) color, 5000K is a cooler (more blue'ish) white. But the 900-series phosphors in this and other similar bulbs are intended to produce more accurate colors (light produced covers more of the spectrum), but they're less bright as a result.

As far as I know, the "K" means it is a kit with some type of case, either a hard case or soft case. If you goggle D26451K and D26451 the only difference is the case.

The K-5 is replaced by the K-5ii. Go to DPReview for comparisons between the two. The lens is AF, but the lens may or may not be weather resistant. If it says 'WR' in the name than yes.

It works on the K-30 and I don't believe that the K-50 changed all that much from K-30. So would suggest you give it a try.

There is no difference, the E325 and the E300 are the same size and the same motor, they are packaged differently for certain retailers.

The PD35 is noticeably cheaper, but doesn't have the illumination intensity that the UC40 does, and has one less level of light intensity to choose from (i.e., the brighter intensity). The PD35 is a bit smaller and lighter. I got one of those just to put in my car for emergencies.

I very much doubt it - the K-5 battery has more electrical contacts that the k20 battery.

k7 has a 5 gal carboy and larger plastic bucket fermenter, the k6 has a 6 gal carboy and smaller plastic bucket fermenter (probably because you can do primary fermenting in glass carboy)

the k50 is supposed to be a minor update of the k30, so yes. there will be a "headphone" jack on the lower right of the body (under a rubber cover). there's a setting in the menu to get focus on "half" press and release on full.

There are substantial differences between the two. I suggest you look at the Silicon Power web site for the list. I chose the A30 based on what I needed it for and the sale price.

I'm quite pleased with my K-5iis. It's the best camera I've ever owned. I actually purchased the K-5iis right after the K-3 came out, precisely because I was not thrilled with the K-3's specs (24 MP is too much for an APS-C sensor). The K-50 was never really an option, as I needed a no-compromise field camera.

Keith, E1500 is the model name, while N300 is a type. N300 refers to the theoretical maximum speed.

I have not used Nikon D5100, (i have used my brother's D5000) From reading professional reviews, Image quality of K-5 and K-30 is one of the best in APC-S sensors. D7000 and D5100 shares same sensor (made by Sony) and would provide very similar results. I believe D7000 would be the best match to K-30 in terms of image quality, features, build quality; and D5100 is below it. I think Pentax's filtering offer a little better image quality in high ISO than Nikon, but it would have to be croped to tell a difference. Both cameras would offer very good image quality. Look into prices and quality of lenses and the feel of both cameras in your hands; and also, the features it offers (performance, metering, auto focus, weather sealing, live niew AF, quality lenses,and more) Hope this helps!

My best guess is "automatic lens" to distinguish them from lenses without automatic focus or aperture, which the K-30 can also use.BG
