I chose to keep the camera and wait if it returns, but so far, no.
I did have the camera lock up once or twice, refusing to AF at all, but simply turning off and on again solved that. No critical crashes like with the K3 (having to take the battery out and fiddle until it returned to life).
I realized that the K3II is actually getting to be a pretty "old" camera even if I bought it brandnew. Newer and coming models won't likely have these problems. (the KP did not).
I'll be happy if I can shoot the K3II for a few years, and am not as critical as I was when I bought the original K3 4,5 years ago.
Of course if the mirror flapping returns more often, I'll take it to the store...
