As far as features I care about, if the K-30 Autofocus is the same, not better, it comes down to:
ISO 80, Metal body, mic jack, top lcd, theoretical higher IQ, X-Sync jack
vs.
Focus peaking, video fps choices, lighter weight, smaller RAW filesize
Focus peaking would be REALLY nice when using my M50 1.7, but I've been getting by without that OR illuminated focus points. At least with illuminated focus points I would get a rough idea of where I'm focused. So if the AF is equivalent, it's definitely K-5.
But if the AF is significantly improved, I have to go K-30. All those nice K-5 features don't outweigh AF that I can consistently count on. For Anvh, he's mostly using MF so it may not be as big a deal for him, but AF on my K-x has been a nuisance in anything but bright light.
