What irks me and makes me NOT so excited about any new Pentax offering
is that the K10D and K20D were released to the public with some, IMO,
serious flaws. Flaws so serious that my K20D is a brick on the shelf
and that I would have a hard time, as others mentioned, consider
giving it, much less sell it to a friend. My biggest gripe was
exposure consistency and pretty much unusable images above 800 ISO. If
I did sell it, it would probably garner 1/5 what I paid for it.
Pentax undoubtedly knew of these issues pre-release. So in the end, I
think Pentax just wanted in my pocket (which I knew anyway). I
haven't owned a K10D, so my words apply to the K20D, and anecdotally
to the K10D.
To be honest, I think I'm getting equal, if not better results from
the Sony Nex5 as I'm getting from the K7.

Interesting that you mention it, Tom, but on the related note, Galia has
recently started to complain more and more that her K10D does not
(auto)focus when she would like it to focus. And I am noticing a
tendency in her photography to shoot more centered compositions,
probably due to the same reason.
I might be opening a new thread with the question that popped up in my mind.
