Originally posted by Evie As far as I know, only K-30 and K-50. Other models has other issues, but none so widely spread (or at least I don't know it). I now bought KP and planning to send K-30 for repairs (interested if they accept not posted, but directly brought camera? I have someone who could bring them directly).
It has made me nervous going with Pentax again but that KP sure looks nice! Looks like you can use a battery grip with it as well :-)

survey shows that the problem may extend beyond the K-30 and K-50 into the K-S 1 &2 albeit not at the same levels. I've had 3 failures (1 K-30, 2 on the same K50) but managed to bring back the K50 (after warranty repair) with a high speed burst (set image size to 5mb and shoot for awhile). This approach may cause shutter damage, but I didn't know that at the time and nothing bad happened. It does seem like some companies are able to fix this without the expense of a Precision camera repair. Good luck, I hope things turn out well for you.
I limped it along for a while the first time with the high speed burst until it finally went. The second failure wouldn't respond with the same treatment. Luckily the same shop gave me a big labor discount seeing as they did the first repair. I figured I should at least fix it and either sell it or run it into the ground. I think I'll use it till it dies and go from there, I've gotten quite a few years out of it. Thanks for the heads-up on the K-S :-)
