I bought K-30+18-135 WR to replace my Pentax-ist DS which I had for many years and which died because dust went inside. I am really disappointed with behavior of K-30 which is positioned as *weatherproof* and expected to resist to cold, dust etc.

No Pentax camera is advertised as weatherproof or waterproof. Perpetuating this myth causes future users to expect their cameras to be weather/water-proof; neither of which is true. I'd imagine the folks with I-Phones were highly amused at your DSLR-at-the-waterpark folly.

Indeed, they don't use the words weather/water proof BUT they describe those terms quite good, off course, without using the words and assuming responsibility

"The K-30 features a dependable weather-resistant, dustproof construction, with 81 seals set in its compact body. Because these seals prevent the intrusion of water and dust, you can take the camera to all kinds of photo shooting, regardless of location or weather. Thanks to cold resistance down to -10° C, you can even use it for mid-winter outdoor shooting."

This is from K-30 Pentax-Ricoh page, where you can see nice pictures of the camera with water on it.

Maybe because Pentax Dslr's are pretty impressive round water ??



But not proofed against the laws of physics !!!!
