A number of new changes have been made including a restart campaign button and new challenge missions!
StormWinds 1.5 is a huge upgrade made to the original StormWinds. Although the first game did fairly well, a lot of suggestions were brought and I felt like we could do better. This then, is the result of hundreds of user comments and reviews. I think it's a big step up, and I hope you all enjoy it!
StormWinds places the player in a steampunk setting, facing a massive invasion of airships and other flying contraptions. A blend between a tower defense game and a shooter, you must choose your defenses then use them personally to gain victory.
This game is by far Hero Interactive's largest to date- over 10 people had a hand in the game at some stage in development. Players who make the purchase now get access to 2 new campaigns, new weapons, new enemies, a new boss, new challenge missions (as they come out), and cheat codes. In addition, when the beta of Bubble Tanks 2 is released, extra content purchasers will be invited to join in!
A big thank you to everyone who supported the game, gave great feedback, and helped to bring this better version online!

MACON -- Picking up trash from anyone who leaves it has cost the City of Macon about $3 million.
Now, the city is trying to figure out how it's going to retrieve the fees it scrapped by not billing residents.
''We've been saying for years that what they were collecting for and what we were picking up was different,'' said Larry Brown, the city's director of public works. ''I've been begging them since 1992, through three different mayors.''
The city revealed last week that thousands of residents have been receiving trash service without paying the $5 monthly fee.
The Macon Water Authority is in charge of making sure residents get billed each month, but for some reason, officials say, the city has collected garbage since 1993 from far more people than it has charged.
''Someone decided Public Works was wrong, the budget folks are right, and that's the end of the story,'' Mayor Jim Marshall said.
Marshall said he just learned of the discrepancies last month.
The fee was put in place in 1992 and a list of past-due accounts was begun. The list did not include residents who were not billed in the first place, The Macon Telegraph reported.
Brown said collectors had no way of knowing who was being billed.
''We pick up garbage, we do not collect garbage fees,'' Brown said.
Finance Director J. Daniel Thompson sent a letter to every household with a bill in excess of $100 in 1995, and some of the fees were paid.
But delinquencies continued to grow, and city officials say their biggest concern is residents who still have not been billed.
City employee Dwight Glover offered to study alternatives for recycling and waste disposal and found that 27,000 households were being billed for trash collection, yet 35,000 received service.
''A fresh set of eyes can see things that people mired in the business miss,'' Marshall said. ''If Dwight hadn't come in, it would have gotten much worse.''
About 4,000 customers never ended up on the garbage collection billing list and another 3,500 were dropped from the list for special circumstances and never placed back on the list.
''The system we put in place to put people on the rolls didn't work out,'' Marshall said. ''But the system we had to take people off the rolls continued to work.''
Marshall and city councilman Jim Lee would like the Bibb County Tax Commissioner's Office to take control of garbage billing, since the office maintains a list of city property owners.
''We would probably see a lot more success that way,'' Lee said.

This scholarship fund has been established to honor Dr. Chamberlain and further his desire to widely share information about pre and perinatal psychology. Scholarship funds will be used to assist deserving individuals with congress registration or with tuition for the APPPAH Pre and Perinatal Educator Certificate program.
APPPAH's international congresses attract people from around the world and could attract more of those who work with underserved populations if scholarships were available.
APPPAH's Pre and Perinatal Educator Certificate has been developed to provide a basic education, including history, ethics, and principles, in pre and perinatal psychology and enable those who earn the certificate to share this information with others in various learning environments. Here are two examples recent inquiries about this program.
"I am interested in studying the APPPAH pre and perinatal psychology educator program. I am a midwife and childbirth educator working in the country town of Colac, Victoria, Australia. I love the information I receive from you. Are there any grants/scholarships to support the costs of this study?"
"I live in Trinidad and Tobago (in the Caribbean. I am a doula, childbirth educator and prenatal counselor, currently pursuing my Bsc in psychology. ... In this third world country families lack the assistance and education needed to make informed choices about their births and problems continue. … I am emailing because I would like to enroll in your program so that I can continue to educate and bring about much needed change in my country, however, I am unable to afford the cost of the program."
Support the David Chamberlain Memorial Scholarship Fund. You will be honoring Dr. Chamberlain and playing a vital role in changing how babies are welcomed into this world. This, in turn, will benefit society and future generations, and will further Dr. Chamberlain's dream to "enlighten as many people as possible about the indispensable and irrepressible baby – innately affectionate, mysteriously precocious, multidimensional beings, capable of leading the gentle revolution in who we think we are and want to be."

Golfo Dulce Lodge
Golfito Travel Blog› entry 12 of 17 › view all entries
Timo is awake again first, at 05:30. He is observing whatever comes by in the garden: a family of six peccary's, two toucans, some macaws flying by, one nose bear, one curassow, a few hummingbirds and a couple of tanagers. Eef is also awake at 06:30 and we watch together the birds and the garden. At 07:30 we have breakfast and the owner notifies us that the snorkeling trip will not be held, because it's raining a couple of kilometers further. Here there are clouds, but no rain for the time being. In front of the coast we can try and snorkel too. Thirty meters left from the path to the sea, that's where we need to be. So we are on the move. A local has just caught a needlefish of more than one meter. Timo tries to see what there is on the water. Nothing, nada. The water is only one meter deep and he sees some rocks a few small fish, strange feather-like blue things, rather special, but not special enough to make sure Eef also comes into the water. We sit down on the bench with view on the Golfo Dulce. Then we go to our terrace and watch what there is to see in the garden: tanagers, pigeons once in a while macaws and we hear parrots, but we don't see any. Eef plays the cards and Timo goes to the platform another time. On his way there he sees a squirrel and a Baird's trogon. Cool. The path is much more slippery and muddy than yesterday. On top of the platform it is cool: there is a small breeze and that brings cooler air. The sun tries to shine through the clouds, but it does not work, because by lunchtime it is raining again. Rice with tuna: nice. We rest in the hammock, because at 15:00 we can do a guided hike, not really. We could not do any excursion here, because of the bad weather. That is not the first time this vacation: no Rio Esquinas and no snorkeling trip. The location of the lodge is great, marvelous, splendid, but it's a bit too wet for us, because we already have two weeks of rain. We clearly see in a high tree two large scarlet macaws. A German couple has them good on film when flying. We give e-mail so they can send it to us. Behind their cabin they have spotted agoutis, a kind of hare, funny creatures. Three great curassows are also all the time present, large animals, they look like pheasants. Then we prepare our bag packs, one smelly and one with clean a little bit wet clothes. All is OK and then suddenly we see a small deer close to our cabin; a red brocket deer. We quickly finish our travel diary of the day and drink something at the bar. Two cuba libre and gin tonic and it tastes good. Before dinner we first receive eggplant with tomato and then needlefish, the one the local caught this morning. We talk with the German couple about Greece. They are also in love with the Greek islands. As dessert we have yoghurt with warm baked bananas, Eef is not keen on it, so Timo eats them both: very nice. The Germans and the French go out to look for a red eyed tree frog, but we go to bed. We burn the candles and then sleep. The cabin smells moist, but we don't mind tonight. At 21:30 we sleep and tonight we sleep like babies.

Jabsco 18220-1123 and 18220-1127
So can someone tell me the difference between a Jabsco 18220-1123 and Jabsco 18220-1127. I just found the original ballast owners manual's and it showed that the original pumps where the
18220-1123's and then 2010 the old owner replaced one of them with the 18220-1127.
The Jabsco 18220-1123 has a neoprene impeller and the Jabsco 18220-1127 has a green polyurethane impeller. Jabsco changed the part number when they changed the impeller. Those old black or yellow impellers were not great and the greens that were added in 2010 have been awesome.
Then can someone tell me why the 18220-1123 would say Water Puppy on it I thought they where both Ballast Puppies.
The called them water puppy's earlier(ballast is water) and then changed the name to ballast puppies. I think they also make different GPH pumps. Might want to check the flow on those 2 part numbers and make sure they are the same.
here's the owners manual for the original ballast pump is it the same as the 18220-1127 if so to make the pump's the same all i would have to do would be to put a green impeller in the 18220-1123 to match the 18220-1127 even if it says water puppy on it.

Featuring weather resistant capabilities, new mid-level DSLR is the perfect creative companion for active travel and outdoor photographers
Denver, CO (May 21, 2012) – PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION today announces the introduction of its new weather and dust resistant digital SLR camera – the PENTAX K-30. Ideal for photographers with active outdoor lifestyles, the new PENTAX K-30 combines a compact, lightweight body with many advanced features found only in higher end DSLR camera models, such as a weather, dust and cold resistant body, a glass prism optical finder with 100% field of view, state-of-the-art autofocusing, and full HD video recording capabilities.
"No detail was overlooked when designing the dynamic new K-30 to be weather resistant," explains John Carlson, Sr. Manager of Sales and Marketing, PENTAX. "Every seam, every button, every hinge has been weather sealed for adventure-proof creative photography. Whether enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking in the Rocky Mountains or on vacation cruising along on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, photographers can stop worrying about weather conditions and start focusing on capturing the perfect shot."
In addition to its versatile weather-proof capabilities, the new K-30 offers features including high-speed burst shooting at a maximum speed of six images per second, a high-speed shutter unit with a top speed of 1/6000 second, and convenient dual electronic dials for quick, fingertip access to exposure control and several Auto Picture and scene modes. Coupled with an ergonomic grip that provides firm, comfortable control of the camera, and a sporty, functional design, the K-30 assures dependable, flawless performance in the field. The new K-30 is available in three body colors: Crystal White and Crystal Blue, with brilliant, glossy finishes reminiscent of the finish of an exclusive sports car; and Black, for a traditional SLR look. It is also compatible with all PENTAX K-mount lenses.
Major features include:
Weather resistant design ideal for travel and outdoor photography
Featuring 81 seals set in its compact, lightweight, portable body, the K-30 is built to be weather, dust and cold resistant with proven functionality in sub-freezing temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). Its exterior has been designed to be both sporty and functional for active outdoor photographers – a large grip provides a firm, secure hold of the camera; a low-profile pentaprism housing for reduced height; and a rounded, soft-rubber casing for a solid grip of the camera during vertical shooting.
Newly developed SAFOX IXi+ Autofocus (AF) module for improved autofocus performance
The K-30 features the new state-of-the-art SAFOX IXi+ AF sensor module, which assures responsive, high-precision autofocus operation by incorporating a diffraction lens to minimize chromatic aberration in accordance to the characteristics of each individual lens. A dedicated sensor also factors the light source into its calculations at the time of shooting. Additionally, 9 of its 11 focus points have cross-type sensors to capture subjects in sharp focus, while a spotbeam assists the AF system during low light situations. The K-30's AF algorithm has also been upgraded in all areas for efficiency and accuracy. A new expanded area AF function allows the sensor module to continue to track a moving subject in AF select mode, even when it moves out of a pre-assigned auto-tracking area, by assessing distance data collected by neighboring focus sensors. This greatly improves the accuracy and speed of detecting moving subjects during autofocus shooting, and autofocusing performance when using a telephoto lens.
High resolution, low noise, true-to-life image reproduction
The K-30 incorporates the latest 16 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS image sensor with a large image-capturing area measuring 23.7mm by 15.7mm. It assures high speed image data readout to deliver super high resolution, rich gradation digital images with approximately 16.28 effective megapixels. This image sensor is coupled in the K-30 with the PENTAX "PRIME M" imaging engine for outstanding full 1080p HD movie clips (1920x1080 pixels at 30 frames per second), in addition to outstanding still image capture processing. The camera also minimizes luminance noise at low sensitivities, while offering a wide sensitivity range between ISO 100 and ISO 12800 (ISO 25600 maximum when expanded via a custom function).
Optical finder with 100% field of view
Despite its compact body, which is smaller and lighter than traditional mid level DSLR camera models, the K-30 comes equipped with a glass pentaprism finder featuring a 100% field of view and approximately 0.92X maximum magnification (with a 50mm f/1.4 lens at infinity) to cover the entire field of view for easy focusing and framing. Since its viewfinder delivers a clear view of the subject even in the brightest sunshine while also eliminating parallax, the K-30 responds efficiently and reliably to demanding applications and subjects, such as landscapes requiring delicate, high-precision framing, and sports scenes where the timing of shutter release is critical. The K-30 also accepts interchangeable PENTAX Natural-Bright-Matte III focusing screens to facilitate manual focusing operation. Optional focus screens include cross-lined and scale types, to accommodate more specialized applications.
High-speed burst shooting at approximately six images per second
When photographing sporting events, concerts or wildlife, the K-30's high-speed burst shooting function comes in handy, allowing the photographer to capture active, fast moving subjects in a series of images at a maximum speed of approximately 6 frames per second (in JPEG format).
Advanced Live View shooting
Thanks to the latest CMOS image sensor and PRIME M engine, the K-30 offers a clear, true-to-life Live View at a smooth 60 frames per second. It also features a focus peaking function during live view to improve manual focusing speed and accuracy. Live View on the K-30 also offers a choice of three grid display patterns including a Golden Section overlay, and detailed information overlay if desired by the photographer.
High quality video recording
The PENTAX K-30 features full HD video recording to capture high quality movie clips in 1080p resolution (1920x1080 pixels). The efficient h.264 compression format offers a choice of frame rates (30, 25 or 24 frames per second) at 1080p, or up to 60 FPS at 720p, to accommodate user specific applications. Video recording options are flexible, allowing the photographer to select aperture or shutter exposure control, while PENTAX Shake Reduction helps stabilize captured video. Users may add creative artistic effects to recorded clips using various Custom Image modes or record subjects in a series of video clips with the Interval Movie Shooting mode.
User friendly Auto Picture and Scene modes
The K-30 features the PENTAX-original Auto Picture mode, which analyzes a scene then automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode from Portrait, Landscape, Macro as well as others. This allows the photographer to concentrate on image composition and other creative elements while leaving more technical settings to the K-30, such as shutter speed, aperture, white balance, saturation, contrast and sharpness. The K-30 also offers 19 creative Scene modes, including Night Scene Portrait, Pet, Backlight Silhouette, and more, to simplify photographing unique subjects and scenes that often require uncommon camera settings.
PENTAX Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism for sharp, blur free images
The PENTAX K-30 incorporates the PENTAX-developed SR mechanism, which effectively reduces blur due to camera shake by approximately four shutter steps. Usable with all PENTAX compatible lenses*, including those produced for film format SLR cameras, this mechanism produces sharp, blur free images even under demanding conditions that are prone to camera shake, such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting in the dark without flash illumination, or capturing landscapes in twilight. The K-30's SR system also offers several other useful features to assist the photographer during shooting, including an Automatic Horizon Correction function to assure high precision image framing and effortless adjustment of horizontal alignment, a Composition Adjustment function to allow minute adjustments of image alignment horizontally/vertically/axially, and an ASTROTRACER mode to eliminate light trails during astronomical photography in combination with the optional O-GPS1 GPS Unit (available separately).
* Lenses compatible with this mechanism: PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2- and KAF3-mount lenses; screw-mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be available with certain lenses.
A selection of image processing tools for creative, personalized expression
The K-30 features a Custom Image function, which allows the user to easily and quickly select the desired finishing touch for a particular image. Choose from 11 custom settings including Bleach Bypass that creates a dramatic visual effect similar to that used in motion pictures, and Cross Process to produce fanciful, eye-catching images boasting dramatic colors. The K-30 also offers a choice of 19 creative digital filters including Miniature, which transforms an actual scene into what appears to be an image of miniature models. These filters add distinctive visual effects to captured images producing creative, artistic images without the need for a computer. The user can further expand the creative possibilities by applying multiple filters and processing modes to a single image.
Choice of two power sources
In addition to the included lithium ion battery capable of capturing approximately 480 images with a single charge**, the K-30 can also be powered by four AA-size batteries using the optional D-BH109 AA Battery Holder. Since AA batteries can be easily obtained almost anywhere around the world, there's no worry about battery shortages, even when shooting for an extended period of time or in remote locations.
** Under testing conditions prescribed by PENTAX, using the D-LI109 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery with no flash discharges.

I own it
I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
Since adolescents (32 years ago) I was already familiar with the Pentax SLR analog camera. When the others had first stepped into the digital era (Canon, Nikon, etc), but the Pentax then followed that with a steady and sure steps. Unfortunately, up until now, it is still difficult to find in stores Pentax cameras in our country, Indonesia. Until now, I've tried asking for Pentax products (eg Pentax K-5 and K-30) in the camera shops in the city of Jakarta, but not yet available. I look forward to the next Pentax can more readily enter the arena of the Indonesian market. A considerable market potential with a population of 250 million. I kept waiting for the latest innovations from Pentax. Most importantly maintained by Pentax is how to deliver a high quality product at a price that remains affordable. Congratulations and good luck always!
I know I would Love this Camera. Obviously for the fact it is a Pentax. And taking me back to High School Photography Class with Nickolaus Pavloff. Also because it is a "normal" DSLR dimension wise. I am unfortunately blessed with large hands and find the smaller mirror-less camera's rather awkward to handle. I am reserving my judgement till I can handle the New OM-D. I would however buy this unit given what I know of Pentax and its IQ Standards. However one feature I would have hoped would be included and is why even given the Oly's diminutive size and higher cost it may over ride my interests with Pentax. And that's the continuous live view in I assume, Bulb mode, and watching an image develop. This saving me the difference in camera costs . Why you may wonder and that is Olympus can be fitted with a variety of IR Filters 720, 800, and 820. And can therefore eliminate the need of an IR only Camera, and specifically my desire for IR shooting. Time as always will tell.
Replacement to my K-5? Of course not!
Backup to my K-5 and replace my K20D? Yes of course!
Not the best looking camera, but ergonomically in use, it seems to hit the spot.
Sign me up!
Phew... I thought Pentax was going nuts after seeing those Q and K-01 launches, but it seems they only wanted to scare us a little.
This is a very good direction, investing where no other camera maker is. Most people looking for post-entry-level DSLR cameras, having the chance to compare the options, would take this one for sure. The ones who still would not, mmm..., few. Even the almost 4-year-old entry-level K-x already has some weather sealing.
Perfect as a family camera and the adventurer or careless with little budget. Congrats, Pentax!
Anyone knows if the K-30 has auto-focus in video mode? Could not spot it in the announcement.
Considering it inherits the K-01 video features, I believe it does.
YEs, there will be AF :
Looks like the kind of camera Timothy Treadwell would have used...
Funny how this preview is not "featured", huh? Even P&S previews got more exposure.
Personally I think K-30 really looks like a Pentax, at least from the exterior better than K-01 or Q. Pentax is always so generous to adding better features on their cameras. I bought a Pentax K-X for my sister two years ago, at that time K-X is the best value entry-level dslr.However I am really sad that most of the people don't realize it, they're gonna say "Pentax? Never heard of it" every time when I recommend them some nice dslrs from Pentax, whatever. Pentax really should work on letting more people know about their business.
I agree. Pentax has some serious marketing issues. Nikon and Canon have established huge marketing investments worldwide and that is the reason why they are also the market leaders.
Nikon leads the entry level and mid-range market and Canon the pro-market.
If Pentax would market their products the way the two leaders do they would definitely gain a tremendous amount of market share due to their price to feature ratio.
Let's hope Ricoh will increase the marketing budget.
Exactly, however from my point of view, Ricoh's marketing for Pentax is not optimum. Feels like they're not even trying to compete with Canon or Nikon; and many people think that Pentax has the potential due to its solid experience on optic area (also from its Corp, Hoya).
Thanks but I'd rather the much smaller Pentax to make high quality Camera and lenses, and far less on huge marketing and advertising.
Personally I find the design sexy. Now to the facts.
This is a mid-range DSLR playing in the same court as the EOS 600D or the D5100. I am talking here about the price range.
Despite it's pricing the K30 features many "pro" features which are on none of the above mentioned cameras. These features are obvious:
- 100 % weather sealing
- 100 % pentaprism viewfinder
- Eleven point AF system with 9 cross type sensors
- 6 FPS continuous burst shooting
- 1/6000th of a second shutter speed
- Two user modes
- Twin control dials
and last but not least a WR kit lens. And all this in a 900 USD package.
I think it is the best recommendation for people starting out in photography or sports photographers on a budget.
Also this promises a lot for the K-5 successor in September. (Photokina)
You were only wrong on one aspect. It does not come with a WR kit lens. At least the 18-55 is not. I've seen the black offered with the 18-135. Oh if only they would offer the blue with that lens it would be an instasell for me. I have fallen for my boy blue and would not be happy with settling for a black camera. Normally I wouldn't care, but that blue is sharp.
Great sounding and looking camera.
Good response here too.
I just can't help but laugh at the threads from fanboys of other systems.(And Pentax owners can be equally guilty!)
How on earth did I cope with a Praktica MTL3 years ago?
I guess the owners of some systems gather and rub their bodies(camera!) together- taking photographs is a secondary consideration?
Oh wow! I have just found my next camera (in that sweet blue). I own a K-x and was seriously tempted to pick up a K-5, but now this is released. This seems like a pretty sweet upgrade. The main factor for me is the preset picture modes. I do spend time in manual mode, but sometimes I like to just flip the lever to scene and the sub menu to whatever I want to shoot and then shoot instead of dealing with exposure, iso, and aperture. I love my K-x, love Pentax, and will probably love this camera. Now it's time to get the 18-135WR and call it a day. Next rain shower I will not be heading inside due to the fear of rain, I will be outside getting more lightning shots! This thing appears to be all I need and want. I enjoy being part of a small minority of people shooting Pentax, another reason why I drive a Subaru instead of a Chevy/Ford/Hyundai, etc. It's good to be different! And the K-30 in blue will pretty much match my paint color on the Subie. Happy days are here
No external stereo microphone input??? If so, I think they lost one potential buyer immediately.
And most video cameras don't have APS sized sensors, and don't shoot at 16MP perframe.
This is a still camera with some video features. Use a mirrorless system camera if you want video on your still camera.
Of course, having stereo microphone input is good, but Pentax probably wasn't targeting video shooters with this camera. Video shooting was never their specialty, anyways.
If you want microphone input, you'll either have to get the K-5, or get a Canon.
I don't get it...
Are you saying that you can actually shot photos... with sound!? :P
For me, I only need good stills, for video there's always my cellphone (720p).
But for my purposes (ethnographic, sociological research work) this type of camera -lightweight, not very expensive, weather sealed, with universal power supply can be ideal choice. But we do quality photos and we try to do quality video clips/reportages at the same time during our summer fieldwork... And the excellent sound is a necessary condition for a good final "product". So I have three choices – 1. Get this camera and use "Zoom" or "Tascam" recorder simultaneously (not very comfortable choice). 2. Patiently wait for another Pentax offer. 3. Lug all my "old" equipment- Canon EOS 40D with huge flash and 2-4 lenses + Video camcorder Panasonic NV-GS500 with 3-4 batteries, wide angle converter, 5-6 tapes, and other accessories…And finally - sad to say all this "old" gear is not weather-sealed…
I echo your sentiments - not having a way to use a microphone is ridiculous unless you are trying to push people up market in your product line. Even allowing voice volume control and metering is a rather simple thing next to pushing gigapixels a second. Sorry to hear it has almost everything - and price, but lack of external mic is crazy - hope it was just an oversight in the reporting...fingers crossed.
To all you justifying 'It's just a camera people' out there - go back to film ;)
They had to leave something off like the mic input, HDMI, so they could still add the pentaprism VF, 920 K LCD, etc and still sell the camera for a profit. I do agree it's a curious omission as is the HDMI port. And there has to be remain some reasons to buy the flagship K-5.
It's a WR K-01 with a pentaprism, higher max shutter speed, better ergonomics, and faster PD AF for only a $100 premium. So how are they going to sell any K-01s now? Or have they given up on that failed experiment in hideous design??
Well the K-01 has real live view.
HowaboutRAW it has the same live view as the K-01 has.
I'm not interested in real live view
Now I want to know what an "unreal" live view is?!
It's very unlikely that Pentax put a contrast auto-focus system in this DSLR, and that's the only way it could have the same live view as the K-01. (I believe perhaps maybe the Nikon D4 has such combined system, and if this Pentax had a combined system, the specs would call attention to that fact.)
In other words, the mirror of this SLR system and phase detect auto-focus require that the K30's live view use a different system than the K-01.
I think all of thier DSLRs since the K-x have PDAF in mirror-down mode, and CDAF in live view.
No, afaik, the D4 does not have a combined cd pd autofocus system. Like most DSLRs, on the D4 you can use one or the other. The small Nikon 1 mirrorless system does have something like you describe - phase detect and contrast detect autofocus built into the main sensor. They have yet to put this in an APS-C or full frame camera though.
On the D4 wouldn't that mean one would use the contrast detect system in live view? To me that's a combined system.
There's still no evidence that this Pentax has a contrast AF system for live view--yes it could, but many dslrs relied on the mirror flipping down to do the focus in live view--for example the D3s.
Not so clear if the Nikon 1 series uses contrast detect auto focus at all.
@HowaboutRAW All Pentax cams since K-x have CDAF in Live View. You're misinformed.
You may be correct, but there's nothing in the specs for this K30 or the K5 about this feature.
Updated: a Google search confirms the feature, so I am wrong, wonder why the specs don't call attention to the feature?
The K01 announces that Pentax is jumping into the Compact Mirrorless dslr market and, as expected, they need a couple production models to catch up with the competition. Im anxious to see what K02, or 03 become as they inherit K30 technology. A competitor to the Oly M5, but with an aps-c sensor. What about the coming Samsung NX310, Sony NEX9.
Because the K01 is woefully behind the competition it was smart to employ a famous designer. Although it doesn't appeal to me, I've hoped, and am glad for the K01... and K30
Where are those people claiming for a old 50s digital SLR like OMD5? Saving for the US1400? Better get a K-30 + Q/ limiteds.
OMD5 is stilll a much better camera then this pentax
Of course, you have tested both cameras, and you know than OMD-5 is better.
There is no k-30 with definitive firmware available for the moment, but you know than the OMD will be better.
the power of auto-persuasion.
waxwaine you can put any Pentax lens on an m4/3 camera and get the same DOF, also Panasonic and Olympus have (like Pentax) done a good job developing fast primes which also helps.
Sensor size is part of the DOF equation. Smaller sensors have less control on the shallow end. Putting a Pentax lens on a m4/3 camera will not produce the same DOF as a camera with an APS-C sensor.
@akluiber It's literally the same image projected onto the sensor so would have identical DOF, just a different angle of view due to the crop. If you adjust the working distance to get the same framing then you have deeper DOF.
"If you adjust the working distance to get the same framing then you have deeper DOF."
Exactly. If you're going to crop in on the APS-C anyway, sure, then it's a moot point.
But if you have intentions to isolate a subject at a specific composition within the frame, you've gotta back away and go wider in m4/3s to get a similar result. So, functionally, it's still not the same.
If you really want to isolate the subject Full Frame is considerably better than both APS and 4/3", with APS being a lot closer to 4/3" than it is to FF. For real DOF control this Pentax just isn't a choice, you'd need to go Canon/Nikon/Sony FF or if you want even more a Pentax 645 :)
Was there a slot on the bottom of the camera for a BATTERY GRIP?
I couldn't tell from the preview shots. You could only see around the battery compartment area.
One picture shows the camera plunging into water. That implies it would survive more than just a spattering of rain, spill from a drink, or expectoration from an unappreciative subject.
Maybe DPR should actually dunk "weather sealed" cameras into a pot of water to check if the plunge picture bespeaks dry fact or waters the truth a bit.
Were do you see the camera being dunked into water? On the image with black background, camera is not being dunked, its being sprayed with water stream (maybe hose) from the right side.
I like that idea. It could help to stop manufacturers adding "weather resistant" to their spec sheets when in the past all they implemented was a seal around the memory card flap.
People should differrentiate waterproof from weather-resistant. Waterproof means having the ability to withstand water pressure, and that can not be arranged with any changeable-volume camera (as opposed to fixed-volume of a waterproof P&S). It could be possible with lenses that have only internal movement, but has not been done yet.
There is no picture of the camera plunging into water, anyway, so the whole observation lacks looking too...
Splash not dunked.
Pentax, you don't need a Marc Nelson (?) or whatever he's called, not too worthy of remembering anyways...to help you design...becoz you just do GREATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
This one might have just killed the K01, absolutely no reason to buy the K01 over this..
OH...but wait......the K01 was already DOA, no camera can die for 2 times i guess.
I really like the bold new design. The one in blue is very nice.
Really good design, even it comes in different colours, doesn't look as toy like as the k-r
Two marks against it.
1. A bevel for no reason that adds unnecessary weight (however small)
2. Small Li-ion battery for the off chance that someone would need AA battery because he didn't carry a spare. A large 1000~1200 shot battery makes more sense than a small battery + a dozen AA (if you carried the adapter)
Otherwise a fine camera from a company that have quirks to work out.
I have 2900mAh AA batteries that give me about 1500 shots per charge on my Fujifilm S3. I think it's a swell idea.
1 - THe bevel helps add extra height to the pop up flash making it better. And it adds style.
2 - I for one LOVE AA batteries. I think it is a key feature of my beloved K200 which will be replaced by a K30 the day it is available. I already carry AAs for strobes and having my camera powered by them means in a pinch I can "harvest" from them. Or just buy disposables. Ever tried to buy a "spare" Li-ion battery in Northern Afghanistan? But they sure as heck have AAs. I will use the Li-ion as a "spare" in case my AAs give out, not the reverse.
K100D Super here, two sets of AA (I bought Infinium: Eneloops were too expensive ;) ), doin' great!
I love AA batteries, something I can use in a variety of equipment. I am fed up with so many manufacturers having their own very expensive special purpose battery.
One of the things I like about Canon DSLR's is if you get the battery grip, you can feed it AA batteries.
I am a K-x owner BTW. A camera that does excellently on AA batteries.
I hate AA batteries in cameras - too many bad experiences with them especially in cold weather.
Once bought a Canon P&S camera with AA batteries thinking it was a good idea and soon found out it wasn't - short battery life even with premium rechargeable. And brand new regular AA batteries would sometimes give only half a dozen shots.
@ Provia_fan
So you like carrying a Li-ion battery + charger + four 2900mAh AA + AA charger + AA adapter for ~1900 shots instead of two Li-ion batteries + charger for 2000+ shots?
@ wildkat2
The flash is not that high, it is all plastic up there. Function follows form, not a good trait in my book for camera. I wonder how much smaller/light this can be if the design is more traditional like K-5, D7000.
I don't know about Afghanistan but I think charging batteries overnight in a hotel is safer than buying AA in a Taliban store.
@ MaikeruN
What are you talking about? My D90 lets me shoot 1200 shots before low battery warning. I'll feel insecure if after 250 shots the camera is telling me low battery and I have to time my battery swap.
Li-ion polymer battery has come a long way. It is time to get on with the times.
What happened to the person that design the K5? They seem to have fired him and hired someone who likes 80's getto blasters and does extensive use of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
If Pentax designers are on mushrooms, I'm in!
Looks to me like the designer of Dell Alienware computers.
It's a shame it's got the K-01 ADC/sensor combo. No 14-bit raws and a stop less DR than the K-5. Otherwise, it appears to be a decent camera.
Interesting someone mentions Minolta here, because this camera from the front has a strong resemblance to the Minolta 800si which incidentally was a weather resistant film SLR.
It could have been the new digital 800si if Minolta was still alive :-D
...and sweet colors! Why doesn't Canon and Nikon offer colors instead of the dated ugly black?
Xqueeze me? The Nikon 3100 and now 3200 come in a choice of colours!...
Because they don't want their brands to be considered non-pro by stiff people. That's why almost everybody releases booooooring bodies.
At last! After Olympus Stylus series, one Minolta and several other properly built but rare outdoors cameras, this digital SLR finally seems to open what should have been a normal trend ages ago. There are really no reasons why all cameras should not be environmentally sealed and not just created for "home & office use".
After all, such devices are meant to live under the open skies as much as their users. Bravo, Pentax! Let's just hope that other manufacturers see the light too.
(By the way, the same should happen to all mobile phones, GPS receivers, tablets, etc.)
You only really need weather sealing for demanding situations, I've had light rain splash on my m4/3 cameras and it never did them any harm. It's nice to have but cameras without are hardly indoors only.
Pentax made the weather resistant LX in 1980 - but no WR lenses back then
one feature that is simply amazing and nobody seems never to mention regarding pentax is the electronic align using the movable señor.
in practice using a ball head with tripod you have the easiness of ball head and precision of a normal head with many movement. Using this feature is a great benefit for micro adjustment, in practice 2 mm of movement everywhere. Believe they seems nothing but they change many times the composition in an incredible way
This is the best looking Pentax camera ever! Blue looks awesome!
Now they just need to come out with a DSLR for $499. :)
I primarily shoot Nikon but I have to say this is the best camera at this price range. I don't even think the soon release Nikon D5200 and Canon T4i can't even touch this. Really love the design and all weather sealing at $850, SICK!!! I think Pentax will hit a home run with this camera. Also, I like the fact that Pentax kept at 16mp instead of 24mp or even higher like other companies are doing. Why? To be honest, how many people really need higher than 16mp??? I know I know... there will always some people, but seriously what is the percentage of that?
Regarding mp, what reason is there not to use a higher mp sensor if low light performance is still competitive? It gives you much more leeway for cropping as necessary, crisper photos, etc. The only negatives you get are possible hits in write time and memory usage, but memory is pretty cheap these days, and write times are usually quick enough or non-obstructing.
But certainly the K-30 looks extremely attractive, and the 16mp is one of the best out there.
Rather disappointed as a long-time Pentax fan looking to buy a DSLR. Why? Because the K-30 doesn't have an articulating viewing screen that my current two digital cameras have, and a feature that I am not now prepared to be without.
It's funny how everytime pentax launches a camera, they keep banging on about the weather sealing feature, as if umbrellas never existed, all of the lenses are weather sealed and rain magically falls everywhere, except for the front element of the lens, allowing you to take pictures that no other digital camera user can. As far as I know, only pentax and olympus (E3) ever pictured their DSLR cameras as being soaked in water. Canon and Nikon produce at least 3-4 cameras each, at this point, with weather sealing, and a whole lot more lenses that are weather sealed, and seem not to be interested to incourage you to expose your camera like that.
Stop thinking of rain. Start thinking of watersports.
ignorant comment really is ignorant. As philo123 said... How many cameras Canon or Nikon or Sony or Olympus offer weathersealing for 850USD at launch in today economy?
And think about this. Taking pictures under a little rain in a Rally event, and then a car passes by throwing mud, dirty water and every single thing you can imagine a Rally car can throw at you...but you end GETTING THE SHOT YOU WANTED because you didn't had to worry about the camera malfunctioning afterwards. That's all that matters, getting the shot you want. So taking pictures without having to use an umbrella is quite a good thing.
Where I live an umbrella is beyond useless, nobody ever carries them because they just turn into a big sail and then turn inside out or demolish themselves. And yes the rain comes at you sideways, not from above. I would love a decent weather sealed camera at a decent price and I think that they are banging on about weather sealing for the K-30 because it is a big point of difference at this price point, I can't imagine them banging on about the screen resolution or having AF as these things are not a point of difference for this price point.
Spec wise this looks like a great update. But aesthetically, I find this design incredibly awkward and kind of baffling.
As the semi-professional model, the design of the K-5 is logical, functional, restrained....completely fit for purpose, and I think that it looks (and works) great. As a consumer model, the K-01 has a somewhat whimsical, design forward aesthetic, but to me it also looks great....it's an indulgent design, but it is cohesive and it has a clear concept.
This on the other had, seems completely out of left field to me....it's design DNA seems to have little relation to any of Pentax's current interchangeable lens cameras. It looks "styled" not "designed". To me it looks like a decade old street bike, or a pair of basketball shoes.
The K-5 and K-01 are cameras that I would buy, at least partially, because of their design. This is a camera that I would never buy because of it's design. I REALLY hope that the K-5 successor doesn't look anything like this.
I have a huge issue with this design too — the lines (dust collectors) on the left side of the lens mount. That's a dealbreaker!
I'd rather buy that cool looking toy camera they released recently.
{Yes, I'm sarcastic}.
In the official picture two of the cameras appear to have peed themselves.
This looks like it's going to be a killer camera, with features that resemble the Nikon D7000, without the dedicated buttons and status display, which makes more of a professional model. If the AF will work as well and will not have the isues encountered on the K-r and K-5, it will be a worthy purchase option for anyone looking for an upgrade to an entry-level DSLR.
This is the true replacement for K200D, and a replacement I have been waiting for. While I already have a K5, I still lust for this K30.
I think Pentax pack in more features from the K5 to this body (and a whole upgrade from K200D). At the same time removed top LCD and metal body that is available in the K200D, to justify the cost. Pentax has two unique features that I think they should continue: WR and dual batteries options in dSLR. I do think they should have a vertical battery holder for this camera like the K200D.
Except the bottle opener design (looks like Nikon) of the flash housing, I really like the design. A solid proof that Pentax own camera designers are great! Can't wait what K5 replacement will be!
My thoughts exactly! I am a proud owner of the K200D. The only feature I'll miss is the top LCD, which I use all the time- it's a necessity.
Your comment hit's home run with my feelings about the camera.
To the people beefing about the lack of 1080p at 60fps or 24fps and the lack of external mics. All I got to say is that this is a "camera" not a dedicated "Video camera." Although all of the features sound good, people are not going to buy this camera for professional film projects. Though it will be fun if someone comes up with a hack like the GH2.
lol "good, better, best"
but wow, weather sealing, great k-5 sensor, ergonomics/etc. to boot? for $849? may not be as cheap or high res as the d3200, but it seems like a more mature camera, not to mention it looks pretty compact.
it seems like the k-5 at almost half the original price
It would be a next great camera,
but what a pity!
It doesn't have:
- vari-angle display
- wi-fi remote controll / viewfinder
- built GPS
- radio 2.4GHz TTL flash system
- stereo mic
- HDMI / ethernet
- special macro focus bracketing for sharp detail of object compound from a several images in the low depth of field photography (in the manual focus mode on the tripod) ... :)
Well, it is a camera after all. I'm a potential buyer and I don't care these things at all, so I think it's a success, don't you ?
Yeah... and it won't even make an espresso for me after a day out shooting either. Damn, it's too limited!
Pentax is hot right now. Good for them.
A slightly stripped D7000 for $250 less. Not a bad deal. The A57 is a real competitor at $150 cheaper however.
If this is five years ago I would have picked one of those cameras.
The A57 is not a competitor because you can't use it in the weather and expect it to work afterwards. I'm not even going to mention the glass.
Yeah, but A57 can do a lot of other things that K30 can't. Like shoot 10 fps (12 fps with 8 MP crop) with continuous AF (and with larger buffer). 60p video, HDMI, mic out, continuously AF in video mode, and tons of neat software tricks (like take 6 shots and stack them to lower noise, and do it hand-held without a tripod).
>> Except a D7000 can Autofocus / Expose properly, and consistantly - That's worth a lot more than $250.
As long as it's not under tungsten light, am I right?
Lots to choose from:
That's just the first two pages on Google...
It's kinda funny, you even participate in some of these threads and do the same thing there that you did here.
Looks wonderful - too bad no pano mode, though. This is supposed to be a hiker's dream, right?
Well done Pentax.
1. Tripod 2. Take photos 3. Go home 4. Stitch photos with proper software 5. Enjoy
Canon 600D user, but this looks great. Also the extended upper lip is because the built-in flash extends up very high compared to other camera's in its class. This is a good thing since it means less barrel shadow from wide-angle shots or bigger lenses, less red-eye, and less deer in headlights look, and since it has wireless commander it might mean more effective range for off-camera flash too. Also seems to serve as a umbrella/canopy against the weather for built-in flash. That or they wanted a camera that looked like a robotech robot...but still pretty nice nonetheless.
I have a Canon 7D and several lenses. But with the size & price of this combined with the added bonus of weather sealing I have a strong feeling I will be picking one of these up along with the 18-135mm WA. What a great, lightweight & weatherproof second kit this will make!
Don't forget it has Shake Reduction too (which nobody here seems to have mentioned). Seems like you get way more from Pentax than the other guys at this price point.
And the neat feature of auto align horizon,it's unique to pentax.

John Shock Sr. and Jr.(Lancaster, Pa)
I have been doing extensive research into my family ancestry....I have found in 1790 census John Shock, Sr( He and 2 of his other brothers were supposedly mercenary soldiers in the revolutionary war) lived in Lancaster, Manor twp. Pa.I have all the census records. He had quite a large family...One of his sons John Shock, jr. b. 1793 in Lancaster, Pa is shown to have gotten land from him in 1825. As a matter of fact, most all the shocks/schocks moved out of Pa before the 1830 census.John Shock, Sr. is listed in Pulaski County Ark. in the 1830 census. John Shock, Jr. is listed in the 1820 PA census in Lancaster, Pa Manor Twp. John Shock, JR. married (1st) Sally Earhart(Va.)1817 then married Elizabeth Lutz (from Lancaster)...I am looking for the place where JOhn and "Betsy"were married...speculation is they were married in Augusta County, Va or in Lancaster,Pa. around 182? If anyone hasany info or would like some from me..

Its Transformation Tuesday and I thought I would not only look at technology pieces, but also look at websites and devices that have changed over the years.
Which one do you use more often? A tablet? Or a PC? Did you know that over the years PC sales have declined because people are beginning to use tablets more and more? Why do you think?
Then reading about Starbucks's app was surprising. I didn't even know one existed, but with a coffee shop chain like Starbucks I think I'd be more surprised if they didn't have one. Do you have the app? If so, how do you like it? Anything you'd want to change or add?
These are only two of the ten this site talks about. Check it out:
And once you're done, head on over to the Made w/Code website and try out some of the games!

In my opinion you should be looking at an I5 2500K CPU with a P8P67 or possibly a Z68 motherboard and you would be better with an ATX rather than a M-ATX as you will find that you might have air flow problems with the smaller board, particularly as you are looking to put together a gaming PC together and a lot of heat can be generated by the graphics card.Your PSU,although expensive,is not really rated,you should be looking for a Corsair or Akasa or OCZ. You have chosen a good graphics card. Stick with Windows 7 64BIT. You might want to have a look at Scan Computing or Ebuyer for your components rather than Amazon.

(PRNewswire-USNewswire) A nationwide study led by Dr. Jed Nuchtern, chief of the division of pediatric surgery at Texas Children's Hospital and professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, found that the majority of infants with a particular form of neuroblastoma - a childhood tumor that often requires intensive chemotherapy and surgery - excel in their overall progress and survival when the tumor is monitored without surgical resection.
The results of the study were presented at the American Surgical Association's 132nd annual meeting in San Francisco last week. In this 10-year study, surgeons and oncologists who identified babies less than six months of age with a small tumor suggestive of neuroblastoma were given the option of immediate surgery or monitoring the baby carefully via ultrasound and urine tests. Overall, 87 babies who had tumors found either prenatally or before six months of age were entered into the study. Only four underwent surgery immediately - all of whom did well - while 83 were followed carefully for at least 15 months.
Of the group that was followed, 16 children had surgery due to changes on one of the screening studies with eight found to have stage one neuroblastoma and only two with higher stages. There were no tumors that required additional intensive chemotherapy. Most importantly, the three-year overall survival for the 83 babies who were followed by observation was 100 percent with median follow-up now of three years. Overall, 81 percent of these young babies on the observation arm were spared the need for surgery. The results of this study reveal that it is safe to carefully observe babies - specifically infants less than six months of age - who have a special, small isolated neuroblastoma tumor.
The investigators are now planning a study that will expand to include patients who are one years old at diagnosis and who have larger neuroblastoma tumors. The study was sponsored by the Children's Oncology Group and included participation by more than 100 physicians from more than 75 pediatric programs across the United States and Canada, including Texas Children's Cancer Center.
