scratched sensor
It could be that the sensor filter is just marked rather than scratched. A firm cleaning will get it off if so.

scratched sensor
Bad luck indeed that it should fall, the mirror went up, the shutter opened and and in a fraction of a second something should damage the sensor. Not asking for advice on lottery numbers then?

Newbie ... convert from Nikon??
Nice gear! Does anyone know what Pentax's long term plans are re: bodies? Is anyone worried by Sony's intent on World domination? Just wondered whether a full size sensor is in the pipeline - what comes after the K20d except better LCD / HD video??? James

K100D Super, newbie.
If it's the same quiet "slide thunk" as you get with the K10D, then the noise is the sound of the sensor as it flops from one side of its unrestrained travel to the other. I investigated this, with the lens off and the mirror up, and watched as the sensor flopped to the side, making the slide-thu...

Help K20D Crashed, Locked or Froze
... Is this more than a 'normal' crash problem? Anyone experienced this? ... I think I have had exactly the same problems with my K20D and reading this thread has made me feel a lot happier :D I have had two different occurrences: I have had it lock up on about three occasions when it just se...

*ist DS or K100D?
Thanks Pete; my wife has used both now and finds it difficult to make a decision too. ^_^;; Do both the K100D and *ist DS use the same sensor? In the reviews they do look very similar.

*ist DS or K100D?
I think they share the same Sony sensor*, but the later camera arguably has more sophisticated electronics to make better use of the sensor, as well as Shake Reduction. On the other hand, it only has a pentamirror viewfinder. * Perhaps someone else can confirm or correct this as I'm not 100% sur...

Can anyone help me please?
I am a photography major at the University of New Orleans and I am also the photographer for our university newspaper. I have been shooting with a Canon G9 but am looking to buy my first SLR within the next month. After weeks of research I have it narrowed down to two. The Pentax k20d or the Niko...

Can anyone help me please?
Pros for Nikon: better live view- coming from a point and shoot this may be helpful. a slightly bigger sensor. a better LCD screen to assist in auto focus in Live View and checking for sharpness in playback. the 16-85 wide angle lens with VR- (this is the biggest pro in my mind) Some of the bes...

PENTAX FF ?
I'd like to see a FF personally, but I'd also like to see them bring out a 'faster' AF system/Higher FPS system on the current DSLR's first. One of the main benefits of a full frame camera I've always thought is the noise performance at high ISO's. Given that some other cameras manage exceptional...

Question About Weather Sealing
In low light conditions the K20D has a pretty good reputation (I find the K10D a bit noisy at 1600 ASA but that is an entirely different sensor). If you can afford the DA* lenses you'll get a weather-sealed lens which is fast and capable of producing gorgeous images. :D The main drawback is the rel...

Samsung confirms plans for new DSLR
There is nothing in the What Digital Camera article that indicates Samtax are going FF just yet. I think there is a lot of mileage left in the APS-C sensor and I think it's here to stay.

Ok if they stay with APS-C how far can Pentax/Samsung take it, i e, how many MP can they go/get out of the sensor.:?: I think the answer to that is the same as "how much memory can you fit on the SD card" or "how small can a mobile phone be." Not that long ago 1 gb was amazing, now 8gb is easy to g...
