Pentax P30

[@thatdeafguyuk]

Thank you so much for a non-patronising and non-ageist camera review, some other KZbinrs could learn a lot from your videos.

Certainly a popular camera. My little video of the p30 has been the most popular I've produced. Keep up the good work.

thanks for some background on the camera, just picked one up on ebay as my first film camera, this vid really helped me get to know the p30 a bit better!

Thank you for uploading. This was really helpful. Am shooting with one now and the program mode did confuse me!

The P3 (I am in the United Sates) was my first film camera, bought in 1985. Recently had the shutter repaired and have been using it for the last two years with the Pentax 50mm F2 lens. A simple camera that works well.

Thanks for the detailled review ! For my opinion the best version of this camera is the P30N. I like the A - position on the shutter dial, so you can use the aperture priority and you can use older pentax lenses with the half exposure automatic.

If you gave me a choice, I would go for the P3 or the P3n versus the ME, because I feel it gives me more choices, especially in M mode and it has a DOF lever, that is a deal maker or breaker. It is so similar in functions to my KX in m-mode, that the two features it lacks from the KX are the aperture in the viewfinder, variable self-timer and the mirror lockup.

The ME SUPER & SUPER PROGRAM were my favorite Pentax cameras I the SUPER PROGRAM with ASA 400 and the ME SUPER with ASA 1500 for low light. My favorite lens which I still own is 35-105 3.5 zoom. For DSLR'S I use the Pentax *istDL 6 megapixel camera I bought new which can now be bought for $ 20.00 on Ebay

I bought one recently after watching the video by Photo Ways. I really like the way it feels in my hands.

[@beforedigital]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

ooh ive been curious about this one

[@smitbar11]

I bought one after a few years using a Zenit TTL, had it for six months then traded it against a Nikon F301. To be honest, as far as I can remember it was as good as the F301 despite the Nikon name

I have several Pentax cameras in the "P" line, some work but most do not.

Never had one fail!
