K5 Sensor Issues...
And that's why I would never buy camera equipment from somewhere like Jessops. I can't imagine them going the extra mile. Well I am waiting for a response from Matthew at Mifsuds regarding the return of my K-5.

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...

Sorry, but the polls are flawed as are all these polls. Those who vote are self-selecting and only a very, very small sample. All these faults get over-blown on the web, it's the nature of the beast. You are right faults do get overblown and that's why I didn't comment on particular hyperbole and on...

Chris, Thanks for the update (shows why its worth going to a Pro Dealer) – as I said in my email I will wait until after Christmas before deciding what to do. Hopefully Pentax will have made it clear what the cause is by then. For me the most important question I would like Pentax to answer is – wi...

There is evidence of this problem affecting far more than a small percentage. Actually, a lot of amateurs with no experience will "see" this problem on their cameras. It will more than likely be just dust on the sensor, but they will never acknowledge it. Since a problem was reported, their cam...

This was my response from Pentax UK. Dear Sir, Thank you for your enquiry. I understand form your email, that there is a spot on every picture, always in the same place. In this case - most likely - the sensor needs cleaning. Please contact the service center to arange it: http://www.pent...

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...

I have just unpacked mine, but not taken any photos yet. How does one test for this problem? Does it show up on the dust alert, or only on images? Thanks.

Only on the images I'm told. Test by taking a shot of a plain white wall at F22 with flash. then have a look on a computer

The K5 is to be my first DSLR. It's the only one (IMHO) that fits the bill for what I'm looking for, quality of shots, ruggedness & video now and again. It also fits well in my hand, "feels" right and has a menu system that even as a newbie doesn't make me tear my hair out. Reading the response...

Thanks and I will tomorrow at the first opportunity. What a shame as this camera is really something else. Unfortuate publicity wise for Pentax too. Much like the banding problem on the Canon 7D, but that seems to have gone away. Even my G10 was supposed to have had a sensor fault with a lin...

Well, some good news. I took a photo of a nearly white wall using f/22 and flash as suggested earlier and the image is clean. I can see no evidence of any smears or blobs, just an even greyish image. :) Hopefully, mine missed collecting the bonus (unwanted) extra feature.
