Should have used Cibachrome! My prints made using that process are still as good as they were 40 years ago, and that is in sunlight.I'm mindful of the longevity of coloured inks/coloured negatives etc, as just about all the photographs I took in the 60's and 70's have suffered colour change/loss.
Regarding modern printer inks, apart from Chromolife (so Canon say) most prints hung in a room that gets the sun are unlikely to last more than a year or two without serious fading / colour loss.
The best way to get a reasonable long life print is to use a dye-sublimation process. There are some reasonably cheap home use dye-sub printers but generally seem to be limited to just 6"x4".
What dinneenp hasn't said is what type of print he has.

The inbuilt flash is often pretty useless; its light often suffers with a shadow caused by the lens! Given the high ISO's obtainable now just how often is a flash a necessity, and with the reduced noise from a sensible FF sensor (probably not 37mp) no doubt even less.

The current K30 ad on the Pentax states site says:
[quote="pentaximaging.com"]
Thanks to the K-30, for the first time in a long time location doesn’t matter. Whether it’s a sandy day at the beach or a trek into the wet rainforests of Belize, the K-30 is the ideal DSLR camera to capture your memories regardless of your location or the elements you face.[/quote]link
So it should be fine then
It's no good saying the camera's fine on a sandy beach if the lens isn't.
I'd save a copy of that ad - it may come in useful to support a claim if Pentax renege on its meaning and subtly alter the wording.

How many of the 'Wants' are just dreamers and how many will fork out the cash when it comes to the crunch?
It might easily just replace it in the market position and the K5II(+s) move down to the slot presently occupied by the original K-5.
