Since this is my first post, I'd like to say hello to everyone! I've been passively using this wonderful site for years - it's finally time to join the community.
I'd like to apologize in advance for my English - it's not my native language and I make a lot of mistakes.
I recently bought a used Pentax K-3II and because I own a K20D and K-5 I did it mainly because of the attractive price. The other reason for this purchase was my K-5...
I really like my K-5 and I'm sure it exeeds my photography skills, but unfortunately, sometimes I am disappointed with the results - pictures are often "almost sharp", AF struggles in low light and I like colors from K20D better...
And of course I wanted to check out the newer body
Given the price, I was expecting high shutter count, but I wasn't expecting THIS:
It's more than 187K!
When I saw that number, I broke down a bit...
So basically this K-3II is a ticking time bomb with a high probability of becoming an expensive paperweight soon.
But apart from that, the body doesn't look worn out at all, actually it's in pretty good condition and seems to work flawlessly - the only inconvenience I noticed is the lack of a perceptible click of the shutter button.
I would like to know Your opinions on high shutter count. I remember reading on pentaxforums about K50 with 300 000 shutter count which worked flawlessly - are there any other record holders here?
Kind regards!
