K5 Sensor Issues...
Hi all, Sorry for not getting back to you all as quickly as I would have wanted. I have had lengthy conversations with Pentax UK once I was made away of the situation with some users experiencing sensor blobs/stains. I can assure you that out of the large number of K-5's sold, it is a small pe...

Thats what I call Customer Service. Thanks Chris. Hope you enjoy yorself tonight. If it helps (as I really need my camera at the moment but my 'bubbles' are not that bad) I can wait till you got enough stock back in and have sorted the others with real bad markings before you carry on with mine. A...

Quite a few people have reported the sensor staining issue. I wonder how many noticed a problem in their normal photos. I suspect that most only discovered a stain when they tested for it by photographing a white surface at very small aperture. I wonder if similar problems would be found on the olde...

Just got off the Phone with SRS, they are going to arrange pickup and replacement of my K5 on Friday,(Replacement time is stock dependant) Bravo! Can I just say, this is brilliant Customer Service and Can I also say that it's nice that whether done directly or indirectly a Company like Pentax can ho...

Well, I spoke too soon. Just checked mine at 100% in ACR and I have three areas of concern. One looks like a smudge and two are blobs. I have put an image on Flickr under 'SENSOR - for those who know' WHE are waiting for Pentax to get back to them with a proposal. I'm sure it will be sort...

I got my call from SRS yesterday (Wednesday) evening and we will arrange a replacement in the beginning of January as I am rather busy this year (got some 'very special fight scenes' during a church wedding and an extra £250 for not publicizing them and I will stick to this. The evening reception is...

We do actually have further evidence though, and that is that Pentax have said that only a very small number of cameras are affected. One would presume that they have a larger sample available to them! How could a company covering their back (and their sales) by saying that a small number of cameras...

Judging from this and other forums roughly 50% of cameras are reported affected. Of these reported, some will be regular dust. However, in the majority of cases of those who have posted pictures, the stains show very similar characteristics and the tightly clustered dots, line of dots or a lar...

The 20 new cameras thet SRS were getting were not for replacing duff ones AFAIK. I got the impression that they were mostly new stock satisfying back orders. I think that this camera is selling well, dispite the problem, which SRS told me was a small number in relation to total sales. lets not ...

Conversely, a lot of people made to worry could send back cameras that are perfectly fine but have a bit of dust on the sensor. Then there will be some who find no problem, but insist on returning it to be checked anyway. If it isn't a large number of cameras, then causing a massive scare could b...

Oh crikey, I seem to have managed to get myself completely misunderstood (not a good start on the forum). I'm not suggesting for one moment that sensor issues are, under any circumstances, acceptable and something that can be lived with. I want something done as much as all other disappointed K5 pur...

I've been mulling over this issue for over a week now...almost as long as the decision to purchase the K5 in the first place! "Go on...you want it" said my Dad, "What?? You've already got a camera?" said my wife! :lol: Have to say, I generally agree with SmutjeUK...the marks on my sensor just won'...

Although I checked this at the shop and when I got it home and reported 'all clear' in the poll... however after about 230 shots: Compared to on day of purchase (iso6400 so tad noisy): So back to Jessops I will go... wish me luck.

Thanks for noticing that I will check to see if that blob is repeated on other shots, it may simply be an out of focus mark on the white panel. It isn't, as yet, any 'sensor smear' spotting.
