While my decision of K-5 vs. K-30 is being heavily weighed on the reviews of the K-30, I'm not paying particular attention to this one. Between grammatical gems such as "peels of shots at 6fps" and "their performance on can be a little sluggish" and the two hasty, awful pictures of the product, it's obvious they put about 4 1/2 minutes into this post. They couldn't even be bothered to use a press photo of the camera for the lead shot.
So, while it says "The camera's autofocus locks on instantaneously", they also say with regard to entry-level DSLRs "If you drop them they'll break, and don't expect respond to your every desire."
Edit: I sent a tip to The Verge, hopefully they'll do a review. If a highly-trafficked tech site is going to review the K-30, at least let it be one where the writers can actually, you know, write.
