I would tend to take all of this with a grain of salt. Two paraphrase
Shakespeare making up words for Marc Antony, The good men do is
interred with them the evil is endlessly repeated. The fact is you hear
a lot about the horror stories, but if the majority of user experiences
reflected those stories, based on a cursory reading of the Canon related
boards, they'd be out of business. Pentax is a smaller company, and
it's become more difficult to find their equipment, so if you want
Pentax, and you went through the trouble, and the equipment then screws
up, you're more incensed. Yet in-spite of the difficulty in obtaining
our toys, and the smaller number of camera models available,
(Pentaximaging.com lists 8 different models right now, two of which are
made of unobtanium because they've been discontinued, and four of which
are color varistions of the K-x), compared to other manufactures, Pentax
still manages to sell a fair amount of equipment.

I don't know that I'm lucky. Perhaps. But it seems that those who
have failures seem to experience them in droves, while others have no
problems whatsoever. Don't know why, but there seem to be patterns here.
The pattern is if you are lucky and get a good one your lucky.
It seems more the norm to get a bad one though.
