I got my K10D in 2010. It's a GP 2007 edition & come with vertical grip. I have been using the K100D since 2006 & so shooting with digital is not a problem but I find the overall output to be not optimal. Quite a few pics out of focus & I don't face such problems with the K100D. When I got my K20 a few months later I stopped using the K10D & put it in storage but once in a while I will take it out, charge the batteries & run a few shots. I prefer to use the K20 & I loved this camera. Then later I got the K5 & K3 & I stopped using the K20. After browsing through some of the posts in this forum I think I will use the K10 again & the K20 too

K3 was my dream camera 5 years ago but I couldn't afford it at that time. So I got the K500 & I was still using my K10 & K20. Recently I saw there's a lot of used K3 advertised on B&H. I ordered one & it arrive today. It came in a small box without manuals or CD but got a charger with 2 original batteries & some cables. Actually there were 5 choices for K3 & there was even a K3II but I chose this with a rating of 9+ When I removed the wrapping I saw that the camera looks very new. When I took out the hotshoe cap it looks spotless & shiny. I charge the battery, attach a lens & took a shot. It looks sharp & crisp & I upload this pic online here to check the data. The shuttercount is 123. It's practically unused even though it's an old model. B&H quality is really good.
2 years ago I bought a used Panasonic videocam at B&H also rated at 9+. It was brandnew & never give me any problem for these 2 years of constant usage

Visited this forum many times & decided to register today.
Been using Pentax all my life. Got a Spotmatic II in 1974. Bought a pair of ME Super in 1984 - still got 1pc in my cabinet. Got my first autofocus SFX in 1988 & system flash. That was the first time I used rear curtain flash with 0.3 sec exposure. In 1992 I got my Z1 - that was the best Pentax I ever used. In 1997 got a PZ1 at a cheaper rate. My last film camera was a Z10 in 2001.
In 2006 I got my first digital K100D - it's still with me in working condition. In 2010 bought this special K10 GP edition. A few months later got the last K20 from my friend's shop - helped him to clear stock. Got my K5 in 2012 & K500 in 2014.
Now I am retired but still doing freelance mostly video. Now I invest more on my videocams. All my Pentax DSLRs are still working & I don't feel like getting another. I may get a used K3 sometime soon.
