I just started making a list. I welcome additions. It's based on this
leaked set of specifications:
http://stdw.us/J8KF5j

K-30 relative to K-5:

+ video improvements (H.264, frame rates, etc.)
+ focus peaking
+ mysterious AF improvements ("i" in SAFOX version number)
+ AA battery support

- ISO 51200 (K-30 = 25600)
- top LCD
- no 1/8000 shutter (K-30 = 1/6000)
- slower FPS (but only slightly, 6 FPS, not 4 FPS as previously leaked)
- 14 bit ADC? (guess based on re-using the K-01 sensor & processor)

TBD: AF fine tuning, full IS capabilities (sensor shift for
composition adjustment, rotation axis, O-GPS1 astrotracer support),
intervalometer, level, quietness... what else?
