I agree... I would have demanded an immediate return and replacement.
B.S. on repairs on a brand new item. Six months, well maybe... a year OK, but if it went loco shortly after buying, a defective should be sent back to the factory by the retailer and a new one given to the customer.
Why not give the *ist D another try Ryan? If it's possible, or wait for the next thing Pentax does. You've seen all the beautiful shots it can produce.
I've picked up the Canons and Nikons and have been horrified just by the way they felt and looked, compared to the *ist D. Maybe that's unscientific, but until the big 2 come out with a camera that feels, looks, and beats what I can do with a Pentax, I'm not willing to change and give up my present investment in lenses, etc.
Granted, almost any camera can deliver a great photograph. I find pleasure however, in using a tool that fits my hands and mindset.
Just my 2 cents.

Or perhaps because CR Kennedy had one of my ist D's for a month, 7 days after I bought it,
That's amazing.
In Canada, the customer would make a case to the seller that the product sold was not suited to the purpose for which is was sold, and after a bit of bitching and whining, would get a new camera.
The distributor would reimburse the seller with new stock in trade for the defective, and life would go on, with everyone happy.
One has a right, when one buys something, to have it work for a reasonable amount of time, or have it replaced or refunded.
