Anyone seen in Malaysian market yet?

^ you can check out pentax2u.com...

the camera has been out for quite sometime now...

Fotokem (dSLR in Subang Parade), YL Camera carries Pentax in their retail shops.. I am seeing a few other shops carries Pentax now so do look around

Thanks. But I just brought it yesterday from Lowyat. with 18-55 and 50-200. I can recommend you the shop and price he gave me.

Do u mind to tell me how much u bought the K30 with both lenses?
I'm also planning to get the same set.

congratulations! did you get it with the WR lenses?

I'm also looking at the same package and plan to get it real soon.
May i know where and how much u get the package?

How is the K-30 compare to the K-5???

Head to Head: Pentax K-30 Vs. Pentax K-5

Wow...

Both are very close. But for a secondhand K-5 price, can get a new K-30 with kit lens.

where do u guys purchase the k-30?
is pentax2u the most lowest price in M'sia?

most probably.but you can look at lowyat, it might be lower there.

Ok. Thx

hey guys, do give me some reason why i should take Pentax K-5 IIs over other same price competitor? such as Nikky and Canny DSLR, little bit poison over Pentax features

There is not much obvious reasons to choose the K-5 IIs over other brands. Some people claims that the K-5 IIs is the sharpest APS-C camera in the market at the moment. But no one can confirm how true that is.

But nonetheless, the reasons that sets the Pentax K-5 IIs apart from other brands,

is the TAv mode that allows you to control the shutter speed and aperture and let the camera do the ISO for you. I that case, I get more control over the settings. Is almost like manual. The K-5 IIs is well known for its high ISO performance.

Then it comes to the ergonomics. It just feels right on my hand. Then the low light focusing ability.

Another reason that most people will say, is the ability to use great legacy old manual lenses from ASAHI days. All the legendary lenses that you can use with it. And the camera has a built in Shake Reduction that allows all the old legacy lens to use its advantage.

Can't think of any other things at the moment that really set apart from other brands.

At the end of the day, it really depends on your taste. For Pentax, people either hate it, or they love it. But please note that there is a lot of Pentaxians that are slowly jumping ship to Canikony due to the lack of a FF camera.

Just my half cent worth.

Cheers and happy shopping.......

You can always come to their TT. Next week theyre going to have it at AnW Amcorp PJ. They have some demo units youcan try though Im not sure if they have k52s.
