Bert - that is exactly what happened to my Pentax as detailed in my posting a month ago. I wasn't able to get the camera to work again tho, so had to borrow a camera for the remainder of my holiday. On return to Canada I took the Pentax back to where I purchased it and they sent the camera back to the Pentax repair department in Toronto. I just found out today that I will be getting a new Pentax body, not lens I am willing to give the Pentax another try ... because I really did like the camera, and the images were amazing.

I purchased a Pentax K50 in Canada six months ago, and up until two days ago I was very pleased with it, it worked beautifully, was easy to use and took great photos. Two days ago it started to behave exactly like the other cameras in this posting: the mirror started to stick, it wouldn't focus and I could only turn it off by removing the battery. Unfortunately I am currently visiting in Australia, so I took it to a local camera store and they tell me it needs to be sent in for repairs back in Canada. This leaves me without a camera for my niece's wedding in five days (the reason I purchased the camera in the first place). I am so disappointed with this product; I have owned a regular Pentax SLR for 35 years without issue, and I can't believe that the digital version would die after 6 months. Yes it is covered by warranty for another six months, but what is going to stop it from breaking down again in another six months, when it is outside of warranty? I now know why everyone buys a Canon.
