I got the K7 because it was much cheaper on the downward side of it "production life". I like it fine. As time has gone by, I find myself giving a chunk of my fun money to Harley-Davidson, so the camera money I have will go to lenses. Especially since i have now decided to keep a DSLR and an EVIL system. FF doesn't phase me at all (although all of my remaining lenses are M or FA) probably because I'm not a big wide angle guy.
Interesting question about Pentax "fixing" its problems under warranty. I do not have sufficient business experience to say for sure, but it would not surprise me if this were no longer a viable business model. Companies need to release frequently to survive, which affects extended testing and QC as the parts change a lot. As honest and fair-minded as warranty fixes of obvious problems would be, Companies that do so may simply go out of business, just leaving the ones that don't.
