Can't say for the particular unit, but times marching on and the K-1 has been out already for over a year now!

K-1 price is still holding up after a year, which is interesting.

Remembered that I have had my K-3 for 3 years now, and that the extended warranty I brought has just run out. Not a single issue with it, which has been good. Long may that continue

It was interesting to have an email exchange with Ben at Wellington PW. He said they have only sold 3 or 4 locally (I guess yours is one of them ClassA). So I suppose this one has sat on the shelf for a while. I thought you guys may have commented about the shutter count of 28. It would indicate it has been in the hands of others.

Second K-S2 I received (after initial one with 1031 activations went back) had shutter count of '1'. Different camera I know but...

If you apply the hack firmware on your K-30, I think you reset the shutter count, and it now appears as a K-50.
