The sensor unit in my DS went bad after about 5 years.  OTOH, my early
adopter *ist D is still going.  I sold my K10D after about 3 years to
get the K7, so my experience with long term DSLRs is 50%

2011/4/4 Ralf R. Radermacher <fotor...@gmx.de>:
> The OK button of my, or rather Michael's, K10D has stopped working. Just
> got the cost estimate for the repair: 310,45 euros
>
> My DS gave up after 4 years (rear thumbwheel erratic, repair too
> expensive), the K10D, 4 1/2 years old, is now beyond economical repair,
> my K-7 had been exchanged by the dealer and #2 needed a new trigger
> button after less than a year, and I'm at my 4th K-5 and counting...
>
> Is this just a strain of bad luck or is Pentax' quality really going
> down the drain? Or is an average economic lifetime of a mere 4 1/2 years
> for a DSLR a normal thing nowadays?
