I'm pretty strongly leaning towards a K-30 to replace my aging K10D. Here's what I see:
- K-30 has focus-peaking (useful as all of my lenses are manual focus), 60 FPS video (good for the things I want to be able to shoot video of), and is substantially lighter
- K-5 II has better battery life, possibly better auto-focus (not very useful to me with my aforementioned manual focus lenses), and possibly a slightly better LCD
The battery life is the only thing that makes me even slightly hesitant about the K-30, but with 110 g less camera to carry around, it shouldn't be too hard to carry an extra battery (or some AAs, since it can use those too).
Is there anything I'm missing just from the specs? Is there likely to be any difference in IQ at all short of going to the K-5 IIs? I figure the difference between the K10D and the K-30 will be a lot greater than any possible difference between the K-30 and the K-5 II.

Well, I've been lurking for a while now, but this thread actually got to me to go and register. :-)
I've been a type 1 diabetic for over 23 years now. Harleynitelite, without a pancreas at all, what you have is probably much more like type 1 diabetes than type 2 diabetes -- that is, your body doesn't produce insulin at all. So exercise alone won't keep it under control, though it *will* affect the amount of insulin you need: you will probably find that you need less insulin for the same amount of food the more exercise you've gotten in the past 24 hours or so (though effects can last even longer than that).
The others are right that any vision problems mean you need to see a doctor, but I'll add one more piece of advice on top of that: talk to your doctor about getting an insulin pump. If your doctor won't consider it (some are old-fashioned), get a new doctor. They give you an amazing level of freedom compared to injections: instead of having to wait for the next long-acting shot to change something (to account for being sick, different exercise levels, etc.), you can just change it immediately, and instead of having to give yourself a shot every time you eat, you just press some buttons, which makes it a lot easier to have snacks. I've had a pump for 11 years now, and it's a vast improvement over injections for me, both for my health and for the flexibility of my lifestyle.
And now perhaps I'll go ask my own questions about K-5 vs K-30, which are slightly different. :-)
