Well after several tests I've come to the conclusion mine is not worth bothering about, and I'm still not 100% convinced its a problem with the sensor despite giving it a wet clean and it still been there, and in the process managing to put more crud onto the sensor than I took off??? I cleaned it a...

Wait till it dries then "Butterfly "it!.......I've never had any joy with wet cleaning either! I've always had the best success wet cleaning. Unfortunately some crap is sticky and sensor shaking or other dry methods won't work. YMMV of course :)

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...

I'm sure the accountants on the boards are advising caution, as this could be a very expensive mistake for someone. Hopefully, public pressure and bad publicity will force a favourable resolution.

I can not see a problem at all. Problem with the K-5 was logged with SRS 3 days after purchase. SRS ag...

There may be owners who are not Internet minded and who do not know they have a problem, especially if it is minor, so not seen on the images. There may also be others who are not bothered. Becuase of this we will never really know how widespread it is.

It seem to be a small percentage overall of all K-5's sold. Actually the only evidence we have shows that it seems that just over half of K-5s are affected. There's no evidence to show otherwise at the moment.

The poll has just atarted to swing in favour of no problem, but it is hardly definitive for the reasons stated. 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 av...

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...

You have to read what is written more carefully. Nobody said meaningful evidence or otherwise. Just evidence. It's up to the Jury to decide what is meaningful and where veracity lies.

Nobody said meaningful evidence or otherwise. Just evidence. It is not evidence, it is hearsay until Pentax issue a public statement. The fact you are quoting what they are maybe saying as evidence surely means you are taking it as meaningful. ?
