Agree with the other Paul. If you move up to a K3 you can still use the
battery.

Buy a battery. Even if you end up replacing the camera, another battery is
always a plus. But I’d bet the battery will solve your problem.

Well, the K-5II more or less did it again. Camera started firing shutter
either too long or short, not recording images or recording with very heavily
magenta casts, controls becoming unresponsive. Taking the battery out for a
hard reboot, restored control functionality but doesn't always restore actual
function. Crap.
After a bit of experimentation it looks like it's battery related. The problem
seems to happen after the camera is sitting idle with the original Pentax
camera battery. Strangely enough the Watson branded backup battery seems to
work much better.
This really sux. I have no idea if I should send the camera for repair or just
look for a used one, or buy a new battery and hope for the best. KEH prices
are pretty low for K-5 variants.
I really was saving my pennies for a K-3, or waiting for the K-3 replacement,
whichever...
