Originally posted by davpapp Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated. Actually I managed to find a P30T locally for a pretty good price. It seems to fit all the requirements, except for the spot metering, however I suppose it would be a bit flimsy after the all metal SLR, the CS-2.
Has any of you used a P3/P30? How is it holding up from that perspective?
The P30t is actually a very tough camera. I would bet that it would fair better if you dropped it than a Pentax MX would.
I gave my daughter a P30t when she was 5 and that camera has taken some seriously hard knocks and still functions perfectly.
