£50 for a hot shoe cover Perhaps I've misread it? An expensive piece of kit like that should have one as standard.
You misread it

But the K10D was not released in 2008
Yes you are right. It all seems such a long time ago.

Am I missing something, or have Pentax discarded both the in-body flash and the GPS/AstroTracer module?
K3 II didnt have the flash either, nor the K1.

Check the blurd re the SR system -

SR came out with the K10D
There was no K100, but a K100D and that did not have SR. The K100D Super did. IIRD the K10D was the first K model.

K100D was the first SR camera in 2006.

K110D released at the same time had no SR.

K10D was released in 2008

A big step forward for Pentax. I look forward to the reviews.

How many people will actually use all those gizmos and whizz bangs?
Very few, but plenty will complain they have not been able to, due to the release delay

I too am looking at K1 v APSC, and wonder what the image quality of the APSC cropped mode is like on the K1 vs. K3ii?
What do you do with your pictures ? Print/post to web ?

I wonder why anyone would not move to full frame if thinking of upgrading.
Do you print ? If printing at a size of 24"x16" or larger the 36MP sensor has distinct advantages.

If you have a large collection of FF older lenses it is nice to use them on a format for which they were intended, otherwise there is little to choose between aps-c and FF.

I say this as a K1 user since 2016. I would not now go back to aps-c, but if I did, it would not be a retrograde step.

There is not much difference between the two formats when one considers modern software tools such as HDR merges

I never owned that lens but did have a DA* 16-50 which had lazy AF. I used to start up by manually focussing to the extremes a few times, then turn on the AF and make the thing focus from both extremes to a point in the middle ground a few times. Once done it worked fine for the photo session. Next time, same procedure.

As far as sending your for repair I would say don't bother. You are likely to get it back a number of weeks later with a note saying "no fault found".
