You're always going on about this but you don't have any premium lenses.

I don't currently own any * or Limiteds, no. How that affects durability escapes me.

My K-70 with these lenses makes a better imaging machine than your equipment.

No doubt. I don't believe I've ever dissed the K-70's IQ. It's much newer than my K-3 and incorporates later technology. Again, however, that's unrelated to durability.

I expect that the k-new will cost somewhere between 1,600-2,000 USD. Knocking a camera off a table that costs that much is a different proposition than dropping a $500 camera. So higher end cameras get sturdier construction. That, in itself, adds weight but does not necessarily impact IQ. Two different issues.
