Pentax have unveiled their new mid-range Digital SLR, the K-30, with the company touting its weather-resistant features.

The lightweight body of the camera is dust, weather and cold resistant and it features “…a glass prism optical finder with 100% field of view, state-of-the-art autofocusing, and full HD video recording capabilities.” According to Pentax this model is one of the cheapest to offer weather-resistant qualities.

The K-30 boasts a 16 megapixel sensor, 6 frames per second burst shooting and a high speed shutter capable shooting at 1/6000 of a second along with 1080p video recording at 30 fps.

It will be available at retail from July this year at $850 (body only) or $900 (with the DA L 18-55mm zoom lens).
