On a forum for Pentax users have pictures and specifications posted on a new Pentax dslr with the model number K-30. This would be the successor of the K-r dslr and officially next week are announced.
The K-30 image, posted by user canari33 in the French Pentax forum PentaxOne, is a cutout of a photo of an unreleased catalog of the French elektronicaretailer Boulanger. In addition to a clear adaptation of the styling of the camera, with a modified grip, is also an extra dial on the front visible, as well as two extra buttons just behind the shutter button.
From the specifications in the French catalogue would further prove that the K-30 is splash water proof. Pentax would this feature bring back his entry-level dslr, since the K200D-dslr in the same segment also, I expected more. The K-r did not have this functionality.
In addition, the K-30 is reportedly equipped with a cmos image sensor with 16 megapixels, the maximum iso value iso 25,600 amounts, while the burstrate would come out at four frames per second. The K-30-dslr, available in three colors, in combination with a weatherproof 18-55mm WR-kit lens for 799 euros is offered.
