Quote:The 15-30 is a "Pentax"-labelled Tamron (except the WR-part? Is the Tamron originally weather-resistant?) Doesn't have to be a bad thing. What Leica can do with brushed up Panasonics and Hasselblad with Sonys, Ricoh can also do. I just don't think, servicewise it's a cool idea. One lens to Pentax, the other to Tamron."The 15-30 VC has a level of moisture sealing including a lens mount gasket. Tamron states "Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens." <-- to quote the TDP review.
USB 2.0 is a joke, a pretty bad one, too. And the rest are nice specs. Just: who cares about another FF DSLR?
Who cares about what speed the USB is? Just pop out the card and use the reader (especially since every laptop created in the last 10 years comes with a SD reader of some kind). I guess it makes a difference only if you're doing a lot of tethered shooting. And readers can be upgraded to whatever fastest standard is out at the moment.
