I think I need to go mall and hold both camera, although I am really looking for a smaller camera do you think the overall size / bulk difference is not that much.

(Essential information is bold!)

The K-70 (4.9 x 3.7 x 2.9 in. 24.3 oz), K-S2 (4.8 x 3.6 x 2.85 in. 23.9 oz)and K-S1 (4.75 x 3.65 x 2.75 in. 19.7 oz) are smaller than the K-30 (5.12 x 3.82 x 2.8 in. 22.9 oz.), but only the K-S1 is lighter. The K-70 and K-S2 are Weather Resistant, but not the K-S1.

It's a good idea to get your hands on these to make the comparison, it seems that the main difference in handling is that the K-70 grip is best K-S2 is good, and the K-S1's grip is not so good; it slips out of the hand! (some may disagree).

You'll also be able to make a judgement on other aspects of design. For me, a camera is an object of beauty to a greater or lesser extent, but that consideration can only be personal. I have a suspicion that when you see what is on offer, you will quickly identify the chosen one and have a good photographic relationship with it.
