Undoubtedly you have.
Most people do not.
I remain convinced that consumer level cameras are designed for the rest of us.
We should probably agree to disagree on this.
You may continue to communicate.
My message has been heard {understood}; I am done here.

I never said anything about being satisfied.
When each of my two Canon Rebels died, and the total shutter count was under 5K {after nearly 8 years of use}, I was not satisfied.
I would hope that my K-30 will do better than that.
I had thought of buying a used K-3ii, but I'm thinking it would strange to own a camera for 80% of its calendar life and take fewer than 30% of the pictures taken by it.
Very likely I will buy a K-70 sometime, but I'm the type of user it was designed for.
To those who complain when their camera has died at 5K or 10K or whatever, I've consistently said that they were not paying for professional grade and they shouldn't be shocked if they didn't get professional grade.
We don't know whether the problems with consumer grade Pentax cameras were an issue with component design or quality control, so we don't know for certain whether these problems will continue.
So here, since many believe the K-70 is partly an assemblage of parts from earlier products, I simply made my same statement looking forward as a warning:
"If you put a professional grade load on, you're gambling if you buy consumer grade"

And, as I always add to these discussions today, we need to realize that the K-70 is a member of their consumer line, so it doesn't have the robustness that is routine in the professional line.
People are complaining about a K-30/50/S2 fading/failing with shutter count of 10K or even less; they should not be failing at 2K, but once you pass 5K, anything you get is "gravy".
