I already returned my Kr four weeks ago. Pentax's dealer said will replace my camera. Two days ago they received a new lot of cameras (Kr, of course) and they done some tests. All cameras has FF on tungsten. Obviously, I asked my money back.
If Pentax will solve the issue in a month, I'll re-buy the camera. Otherwise, I'll wait for decreasing the price of Canon 550D and I'll buy one.
For me, a 2010 camera
must focuses perfectly, no matter of light colour and conditions/intensity, considering the low light specifications of the camera and its high ISO capabilities.
If I want to play with manual focus, I take my old russian SLR. For me, manual focus is not an argument to keep the camera.
PS: for now, I see that Pentax don't hurry with a fix firmware.
There are three posibilities:
1. they don't agreed with us concerning the ff issue (nothing official until now) and they don't work to a fix,
2. they work to a fix, but the problem is too complicated (if there are good cameras too, without ff issue - personally, I doubt it),
3. they found that the problem is without solving, because of hardware.
Paradoxically, I believe the truth includes all the posibilities.
