My K100D will be replaced with a Nikon the moment it gets back from being repaired as the onboard flash died. It seems that the flash units on the K100 have a habit of dying. At a recent forensics workshop of a total of 120 people attending, three other people have had problems with the onboard flash unit going defective on the K100D. That gives a percentage of 3.33 of defective flash units.
I have a ME SUPER which gave sterling performance over the years and that made me decde to replace it with the K100D. A friend asked me why I don't just buy an external flash unit for the camera but to me that is not the answer - if the flash unit goes defective after minimal use ( basically all the photographs that I take is in daylight, so the flash unit have had almost no use )then what else is going to roll over and die?
I need a reliable camera for my work and I just can't trust Pentax.
A quick poll at the conference about camera problems revealed both Nikon and Canon users having had no trouble to date.
Maybe I just had a bad camera but it seems this is a design fault and not random
