K30 Vs K50 worth going for the 50?

The macros on these keyboards are just for looks and aren't as efficient as razer brand (Can only assign macros to the macro keys, good for slower uses). The design is nice. The keys are really nice, but they get dirty really quick. I play MMO, I compensated a razer naga (2014) for the inefficient macros on this keyboard.

Well i got the k30 because it of the price, but after gaming with it for a couple of weeks it became clear it is a great keyboard, but if you want more features go for the k50, if you get the k30 you will not be disapointed...

I think it depends how many programmable Gkeys you need. The K30 has 6 and the K50 has 16. It wasnt an issue for me. The only other main differences are the K50 has a few more back lighting option colors. The K30 keys only glow red but it does have 3 different brightness levels and also an off. The K50 also has a wrist rest attached. You have to decide if those extra features are important to you or not. Otherwise its pretty much the same keyboard. I have the K30 and its outstanding for normal usage and gaming.

Depends on the price. I think extra 10$ def worth the macro keys and the wrist rest.

I dont have the K50 so I dont know but the K30 is an awsome keyboard it seems the same but I can just tell you that K50 is better since I dont have it.

I have the k5, k5ii and the k3 and I love the K3. I have no regrets for buying it and would do it again.

i won't comment on bokeh, but i find the 35mm a better walking around lens (but i am a landscape person) if shooting people, my guess is the 50 might be better.

I went from a Canon DSLR to the Pentax K-30. So far I am very happy with this camera. In the "Auto" mode it is similar to using a point and shot camera. But the camera has many more advanced features that you can use. Also, Pentax K-30 allows you to use lens from older SLR Pentax camera. I am using 2 lens that were from a film type SLR!

My understanding is the 55-300 DA L is sold as part of the kit only. The optical performance apparently is the same, but it is a lighter lens matched to the K-X. You have already mentioned the other differences. I have the same kit you do. You may also want to do a search on the Pentax User Forum. I have found many of my Pentax K-X questions are common ones that have been posed & answered before.

Yes, my old K-mount lenses work fine with my K-50. However, you'll have to experiment with exposure settings and manually set the f-stop and shutter speeds (plus manual focus of course). But it's a great advantage if you already have some old high-quality lenses in your kit.

Exactly is the same for me. I also have a K50...seems other responses are for k30.

I didn't, but there is no reason not to work on K50. All Pentax lenses fit on all Pentax cameras. I use it on K20 K5 and K5II - very sharp lens. It allow you to focus manual with-out to switch, and then it do the rest automatically.

No way, I came from a K20D and the K50 is an awesome camera. Excellent Sensor and Processor give great image quality. The camera is equal to the K20D in build quality and feels durable in your hands. The K3 has more noise than I like, too may pixels . My shooting style uses iso 800 a lot and the K50 is cleaner. Good little camera.

I am very happy with the k3. It works well with the light I get inside. It was a good upgrade from the 5d mark II and 7d I had. I hope to buy another one soon. I thought about the k50 or k5IIs but there's no need to go back to a lesser brand when the new one is only $1000 right now. Unless you like the color of the k50. The k3 has everything that they both have plus more.

I really didn't consider K-3 or K-50. The K-5IIs is a very nice camera that takes fantastic pictures. Its sturdy and extremely well built and feels like it will last. Shutter has a nice crisp sound and feel. Would maybe have been nice to have Wi-Fi built in, but I bought Eye-Fi SD card and that works reasonable well as well.

i have the koass 1 (seen to your left) and the kpro. i don't own the kaoss 2. but based on vids on youtube, 2 is easier to use.

I have used it on a K10, K20, K5, K5IIs, and K3. EXCELLENT lens. It will work just fine on your K50. Enjoy!!!

Yes. This is a wonderfully sharp lens for ultra close up work. I use it on my K3 but it will work fine on your K30.

I'm not quite sure what the "quick shift" is. I don't own a K-50. This lens is ok. I would recommend getting a sigma 18-50 2.5 or sigma 17-70 2.5-4. Much better quality. Costs about twice as much but it is worth it.

Most definitely. The K3000FX will deliver a clear, clean sound that's ideal for gigging plus the K3000FX has internal effects.

I haves used it successfully with a k-30. I would think it would be ok with a 50.
