mattb You a good salesman, I looked up everything I could about the Pentak K-30 .Yes it has wireless remote and even got a waterproof one ,both are under $30.00. It can take AA batterys which is a big plus because I have lots of the rechargeble ones here and can always have extras. Another real plus was the weather resistance , They have a video of a camera sitting under a fountain taking pictures ,then the guy in a canoe dunks it and shots a few pictures too. I noticed for what I wanted it does it all plus more .
The real clincher came when I phoned a camera store today and asked if they carried pentax remotes , the guy said no and where to buy it cause the store he works in doesnt sell pentax,and out of the blue he said he owned one and they were excellent , when I told him I was tinking of buying one he went into great detail saying how good Pentax was over all the others ,and he has been trying to talk his boss into stocking them.. I couldnt believe my ears , you know how you get sales pitches and your aware the guys trying to make a sale ,well this guy was encouraging me to buy from the competition and told me who stocked them . What more did I need ,I clicked on Airmiles and ordered one .. It arrives within 4 weeks. Oh yeah he mentioned that since I was a new guy to DSLR,the competion has loads of 2 hr.courses on all kinds of stuf for $50.00 I checked it out and its great ..
Well mattb ,many many thanks for getting me interested in Pentax..
