Let me get another picture of the black and post over the eekend. This does not do it enough justice.

Can't beat the white. I love it. Here's mine with the Sigma 85mm 1.4:

Stop it! I will visit my parents today, I'll have plenty of time to cry (:

Went to a barbecue today and pulled out my camera to get some quick shots of events. One of the men at my table looks at me and does a double take.. "Hey your camera is blue!!" My response was "Why yes it is..." I could not image the response I would have received if I had one of the wild colored K50's that were just released

My K30 is Crystal Blue. I really do like the look of the Crystal White w/Black grips....

I was very tempted by the blue before finally deciding to go with the white. My K-x had also been white and I liked how it looked.

I hope this gives the K30 better justice than the previous post

I don't have one yet. Generally prefer black, but have to admit the white is growing on me.

While I genuinely appreciate Pentax's quirkiness of offering the entire rainbow to consumers...
If its not metal, it's got to be black for me. (but white was tempting)

I wanted the blue, but black was on sale so I got black.

Just ordered one in red. I'd have preferred the black, and I'm especially not thrilled with the glossy finish, but to save $20, I'll take red. I'm thinking it'll look pretty classy with the gold accents on my Tamron lenses.

^well put.

I just got the blue one. I have to say it looks pretty cool!! And, I do like the styling of the K-30.

I just recently bought my K-30 in Sydney and I really wanted a white or blue version as they looked so cool unlike the generic black cameras you see every company making but sadly the store only had the black version left and thats what I bought.

I do wish I had gotten a different colour but in no way do I regret it.

Went with black, even though blue was $10 cheaper.

Sadly I could only get black with the 18-135 kit. I think I would have preferred white this time.
