Question about used K30

Hello, so i got into photography with an old k100d and recently ive been looking at the used market and found a k30 with the kit lens and about 35000 clicks at 250 euro (~280$). I don't really know much about cameras so can anyone help me? is it a good buy? the owner doesnt really say much more and i dont know what to ask.

thanks in advance.

Not sure what you want to hear.

• Price might be high?
  
• 35K clicks aren't scary yet
  
• Why Pentax?!?
  

"Toss a coin?"

I only have K20 & 2 of its Samsung sisters + K10, K100, *ist D. K30 should surely feel like a reasonable upgrade from K100. But

• some folks declare DSLRs dead
  
• Canikon offer significantly faster AF
  
• Pentax lenses are comparably expensive and lacking 3rd party alternatives.
  

Your deal is something I'd recommend to a traveler, "a reasonable landscape camera, cheap enough to stay in an unattended tent". But you might end switching brands later and that is cheaper to do before you invest into a lot of glass.

Hi,

Couple of things - are you buying privately, or from a site that offers a money-back guarantee for this camera ? Are you able to pay by credit card or via PayPal, for added security ? When you say the owner 'doesn't really say much more', I'd be a bit wary and ask for further info before parting with the money, especially with a private sale.

Good luck
