my K-5 died today..
I know this because while I can click the shutter (and yes, I can see
the mirrors move with the lens off ) nothing is exposed and the
"chimping screen" is black. I thought maybe that was all that was wrong
so I shot a couple frames and fed the memory card to my computer and
nothing was recorded.
two questions..
Is this what happens when it maxes out it's shutter count?
and where can I get a K-5 body at a reasonable price? anyone have one
to sell? know a reliable vendor?
It died after I had shot a few frames using live view.. irony are us

They die in a myriad of ways, but not by looping the shutter count.
Do you get any image with live view?
Have you tried another lens?

Oh sh.t!!
Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in after a few
minutes? Do you have another battery?

Good to hear Ann! Meanwhile I did put my name on a watch-list for a K-5 with a trusted seller. If/when one comes up, I’ll pass along the info.
