Some good suggestions here, but you are finding problems most of us would never have, or notice.

Well, he does say "gets a bit nitpicky" in the title.

I'm pretty sure if Ricoh took the time, energy, production design, etc to give you the camera you wanted, it would costs more than you would want to pay.

Several of the items look to be possibly 'firmware fixable' to me. Perhaps some could be just as quick and easy as the perennial "increased stability" fixes we're all used to.

And even if some/many of these fixes turned out to be not possible for the current K-1 architecture, if Ricoh are working on a new body, they seem to be the sort of issues they could be working on alongside more major/headline improvements.
