One other thing.. This thing is awesome with manual focus lenses.. If you want to do photography with one as well. It does an incredible job of exposing correctly with manual lenses in photography. It also does image stabilization with any manual focus lens put on it. No matter what the lens. If you are using a 300mm F/4 Ziess it get's into trouble a bit. But with my Nikon manual focus 15mm, 18mm 24mm 35mm,50mm, 85mm and 135mm it does an incredible job.

I actually sold my Nikon D7000 and will just use this one for a while. I was going to dump it on ebay. But after using it for two weeks now it is a keeper.

Now on the video side.. I like the video. but still prefer the Canon T2i, T3i etc.. Since Magic Lantern is so incredible and the use of Cinestyle makes it a better choice for video.

I just wanted to post my findings/ This camera is a little gem and if you can get one cheap you will love it.

I got mine with two lenses in a trade for one of my old film cameras. But I may keep this around for few years it is the best camera I have used with manual focus lenses and a DSLR body for taking pictures. I just have so many manual Focus Nikon glass that I use with the Red camera I do not want to covert over to all AF lenses since I use them mainly for cinematography.

It's just funny this camera is so amazing and there is no info about how good this camera is out there.

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any about the Pentax K-30.

The pictures were hand held in available light. Shot in the same place as the video link.
