What's your K3's shutter count?

I just bought a K-3 that was made in 2014 off a guy on Craigslist. I used the first pic i took on it to do a shutter count. Grand total of 9017...

66k now and I have been getting random black or partially black pictures from around 40k. Now they've become less random and the K3 might be getting to the end of its short life span.

That's unfortunate. Looks like a sensor issue, no idea if it can be repaired....

I recently bought my K3 used for the princely sum of just over USD300. It is like new and the shutter count was 2660 (now a little higher, of course). I am very happy and impressed with it.

The color saturation in this out-of-camera JPEG seem to be a little over the top. I will dive into the menus.
