Excellent housing midrange price range of inputs from other manufacturers

Having acquired this case last August, following a complete renewal of my formerly Nikon equipment, I am extremely satisfied with the change.
In terms of digital boxes, I had 2 nikon (a D3000 and D3100) to me "form" to the digital photo on reflex box (I have walked in the digital as in 2008 with a Nikon bridge which j 'was very satisfied but I had quickly made the rounds and reflex missing me terribly ...)
These two boxes are very good boxes but remain range of inputs not offering highly advanced features and sorely missing some elements that I found on the K-30:
- The Autofocus box that provides the focus automatically regardless of whether the lens is motorized or not (be careful anyway to any manual objective old ... there, there is no AF)
- The housing stabilization for the same reasons that the AF but this time is also functional on manual stones
- The ability to mount lens and old of different brands. The series 3000 and 5000 nikon does not offer this as COs AI are not compatible with the case.
- Dual really convenient dial to make settings quickly without going through the menus (Opening, Speed ​​and Sensitivity)
- The tropicalization (that is 80% why I have taken the plunge) that finally allows me to take pictures on the sand or in wet and cold environment without too much worry about whether my case will turn into Cultivated mushrooms (be careful anyway objectives that are not all WR)

Finally, for little more accessories but have some importance:
- A gust to 6 i / s
- A 100% pentaprism viewfinder offering a composition also display mode
- An electronic level and interval timer
- A function braketting
- 2 configurable user modes
- The small green button that, whatever the mode of shooting settings obtain calculates that the housing
- Getting started with a handful "forward" that sits nicely in the hand
- Intuitive and very complete menus
- An IR cell for remote control

Finally, small least for me who are not annoying but may impede some:
- No nag screen on top of the settings
- No connector grip
- A slight tendency to underexpose but nothing too bad

On my box, and I'm not the only one apparently I once had a concern that the mirror is stuck in the up position and nothing to do.
I removed the battery and everything is left properly. After doing since 2 firmware updates, this is part of what's new first and I did not have this worry again.
The latest update has really improved AF in low light condition, so all is well with this case.
And fun shooter with old stones that have bitten crazy, it's just excellent (even if the map is hand it does not matter) :-) :-)

In short, you'll understand, I highly recommend it to those looking for the pace of entry and stay in well below budget for a Nikon D7000 (the one I wanted initially) or Canon 7D :-)

Anyway, congratulations Pentax! (I'm waiting to see what will give them full size ;-) ;-)
