Can someone post pictures of the blue K-30?

I've been looking at pictures from the blue K-30, but some seem different. Some have the shade of blue that I love, and others seem to have the shade of blue that I don't like.

I LOOOVE this shade of blue:

But hate it in this picture:

Which one does it look like?

I also love love love the white one. I really wanted the Pentax K-5 IIs, but can't help thinking about the K-30 because of price + color. lol. I never thought I would be tempted to buy a camera because of it's appearance. :O

The correct color is the first one

That silky silver looks great. Wish I could get that over here.

You can get one through the Pentax Singapore webstore. I almost ordered one, but decided the blue was just as nice, yet cheaper.

The whole warranty thing has me questioning the wisdom of ordering one overseas. I would hate to get a lemon and have to send it back across the Pacific for warranty work.

Certainly a valid point. However, i remember a thread on here that said that Pentax honors the warranty here in the US on things purchased from their Singapore store.

New K-30 owner here. I ordered the crystal red version off of eBay.

Proud owner of K-30 Black version!

Just got mine.

I like the look of the silver one! When I got my K-30 in Jan I was only aware of the three colour options, but I'm happy with my choice of black.

Another new K-30 user here. Got the blue version with the 18-135mm WR lens

A very nice upgrade from the K-r, but I am thinking I might keep the K-r as a backup body for a while

New member and brand new K-30 owner. Just unboxed it last night! Yay!

Welcome to the forum SurferBud3! And congratz on getting such a good Dslr

I've already got a black K-30, but for sure my next camera will be in a wacky color of some kind!

I got my white K-30 in Tokyo (Yodobashi in Akihabara) for ~820€ with the 18-135 lens.
