K5 Sensor Issues...
Just to add, my K5 number 2 was a feb 2011 manufacture and 4xxx serial and had the stain issue. Have not tested number 3 yet (just back fom holiday) - number 3 though has a fairly large, single piece of dust/debris under the rear LCD - instantly visible - but it has not bothered me so far, just w...

K5 Sensor Issues...
Not sure about the one on the left but you certainly have something in the middle starting to appear and as it will only get worse with time I would take it back. I wouldn't be touching a pre 2011 date anyway tbh .. my third (and so far perfectly fine) body is dated April 2011.

K5 Sensor Issues...
I have never had trouble with condensation and my camera has been in and out from a warm ship to Arctic temperatures and back. I think you'll find it is dust. Try running the cleaning program on the camera first, before spending money on cleaning. If it doesn't annoy you too much then just clone...

K100D Super battery failure
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my K100DS has just developed this problem. I even tried an external power supply, and still all I get is the "low battery" symbol. I guess this camera is long in the tooth now, so is it worth getting it repaired, or is this a sign that it's time to move on. ...

Real Life Sensor Test
If I set the monitor zoom to 400% I can see the individual spots. I think you should be thinking about sending it back.

Real Life Sensor Test
I think that Smutje should make prints of all these so that when his camera goes back to SRS for replacement Chris has the evidence. Since these show it quite clearly make another set of prints with the date imprinted on them .

Real Life Sensor Test
My K5 is going back to SRS next Monday, I decided to give it a run out at the weekend and got some photos of Waxwings. I didn't think I'd have a problem at F8 but I did, on a few of the shots I had to do some cloning to remove a spot in the centre of the frame. I hope my replacement doesn't have t...

K-5 non-Pentax battery supplier
I asked a similar question a couple of months ago for batteries for my k-7 (same as K-5), I picked up a couple of the £6.99 jobbies off ebay and have had no issues with them at all. I tend to use my 3x Pentax ones first and foremost but happy to use the cheapies as a back up...

Sensitivity Priority Mode- when would you use it?
In terms of affecting the exposure we only have three variables - aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Aperture affects what is in focus - depth of field. Shutter speed affects the appearance of moving objects and is a factor in camera shake. ISO affects the sensitivity of the film/sensor and ...

Sensitivity Priority Mode- when would you use it?
I agree with John. Av and Manual - all I ever use. The trouble is that manufacturers have to have all the bells and whistles as otherwise they lose sales. Me too!....There seem to be alot of modes which take you back to what you wanted in the first place!.....I think I understand that!:?

Sensitivity Priority Mode- when would you use it?
I have to agree that Av is probably my favoured mode I must add that I have found TAv excelent for shooting birds in flight with the Bigma. I can set the shutter speed I want to freeze the birds movement and help combat camera shake, and also set the aperture to control the depth of field so I can...

K7 Low Video sound
Not that I am too bothered about the video but is it just my K7 that the video sound output volume is poor. When playing back video clips through the camera even with output level set at max the sound is very low. When played back through PC the quality is reasonable but the sound output is still ve...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
Taking into consideration the VAT increase in the new year, and the current price of the K-5, would the K-7 be an alternative choice? I ask, as, although I love my K20D, it does have some shortfalls compared to the two newer models. I won't consider the K-x and K-r as I do want the three things t...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
I must admit that the K7 doesn't really have enough for me to see it as a significant upgrade from my K20D - the K5 however has improved Dynamic range, faster focus,improved Live View, improved FPS and better noise handling, a no-brainer for me despite the price difference. The only thing that's sto...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
K-5 at any time. I was in a similar situation where I wanted to replace my Samsung GX-10. It was either saving up or compromising. In any case, I saved up and never looked back, even so that I have to send it back for a replacement in the beginning of January. Believe me, I will miss my K-5 till I...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
I use the K-7 (my first DSLR) and shoot a lot of Karts at my local track, the slow AF is a real pain, very often by the time the camera has focused and the shot fired the first kart has moved and the second one is in focus. Shot wasted :evil: I love my camera and the fact that the other photographe...
