K20D vertical banding
I've had my camera back just over a week now and taken about 200 shots, some in the snow, and so far no sign of any bandings. I've not been happy with some of them but thats down to the user and not being fully used to the camera yet. I've only it about 10 weeks.:roll:

I've had my camera back from Park Cameras today, after being sent to Pentax. Apparently, like Steve's mine has had a new mainboard fitted. Park Cameras have been most helpful, as I'd heard before. I'll be going there for my next purchase. EXIF shows same internal body serial as before. Diff...

I got mine back today and it also had the whole SR unit replaced. I've not checked the exif to see any differences yet though.

I got my K20 back after Easter (in fact it had been in the institute on the Thursday before Easter, only that Pentax service didn't keep me informed about progress so I didn't even look:oops:) and now had some time to take a closer look. The paperwork says that the CCD-Block was replaced. PhotoM...

Tel, I feel with you. In my case it took two weeks and one day for the camera to return. So hopefully it should be back with you in the coming week. Looking at the difference it made I would have gladly waited another two weeks (but that is easily said...). Prieni

Mine took more than two weeks to come back too. Pentax replaced the sensor and had to wait for parts to arrive. Seems to be perfect now. Went to Kew on Sunday and took a load of shots (mainly macro - Sigma 70-300) and they look stunning. Exposure seems to be more accurate too. The camera came back t...

Short visit to Watford today and my K20D is back in my hands after over month (ish) with Pentax, action described as "Repaired CCD-Block". Out of curiosity some look inside, same body, has come back with firmware 1.0 and flash memory erased (so default settings, shutter count in exif shows 250 clic...

piotro, I had a look at two RAW files before/after service. The production ID has a ? in the descriptor of PhotoME, that flags up that it is not known, if it really is Production ID in there. For my camera this has changed from 4 (before) to 1 (after service). As in my camera the service bit h...

Golf, most of us have had their cameras back in two weeks. So the standard repair time is only up to 6 weeks because they hold Tel's one forever:twisted: And Tel's moving to another manufacturer is the best way of expressing his lack of satisfaction with that kind of service. And it's the only...

Having got the problem fixed, it seems a bit drastic to change marques. Presumably the Pentax was bought in the first place because it seemed the best option and all the lenses followed on. Soon the body will perhaps be upgraded anyway. What if the Olympus is no better, the lenses are certainly m...

With my recent experiences with pentax service, outsourcing can only be good. But hopefully I wont have to use them again...:wink: I fully understand how Tel feels and nearly took the same action of changing brands. But as John said, why bother once you get it fixed, or replaced for a new one as ...

Great, not a full month after I've got mine K20D back from over a month long "repair" (probably one of the last ones before they outsourced it) and have exactly the same (looking) issue, and the season for airshows just started...

It is not showing always, but it hasn't gone, it just needs some combination of ISO, or whatever else may be involved to make this issue happen. Hasn't sent it back yet, just discovered it, PPing some photos from Southend airshow and "tada", don't really want to send it back ;), airshows seasons ju...
