Such a good camera and I was hoping on getting one in the future.
The thing is all those 'me to' with mirror slap and 'hope Pentax fix it soon' are as we see pxssing in the wind posting in an English/American site will not effect a repair.
If as seems likely its a single or multiple hardware issue and Pentax/Ricoh have decided due to the small number to fix on fail then 'waiting fro a FW fix' will never happen.
As I keep saying if you camera doesn't work claim warranty, Though I think it reasonable to allow a single flap episode as there is a query on new batteries
