K5 Sensor Issues...
I want to wait a little before shooting video and see if it appears just shooting pics, I am being very methodical with it at the moment. My K5 shutter count started at zero but then so did my K7 :?: The K5 is up to 85 on the shutter and I have checked it 3 times already and it still looks ok, ...

Get a program like PhotoMe (free download). Open a recent photograph and scroll down through the info, until you get to shutter count. :wink:

When I initially contacted SRS about the problem with the Sensor they told me that they were at that time up to 17 for return (09/12/2010.) Would that add weight to the theory it's only a certain batch, I don't think it's indicative of how many units SRS have sold as it must be quite a few more tha...

Otherwise I can see the K-5 being the best APS-C camera Pentax ever made also becoming the worse selling because prospective buyers will be as sceptical as they are with SDM. I don't have a K-5 so can't comment first hand. My thoughts are that if the sensor and Bayer filter are supplied as a comp...

3913 is a very late production camera .. mine is 3825.... Mine is a very late release, I stated in my earlier post I was going to update the firmware, but I found it had already been updated at the factory to ver. 1.01, I have never known Pentax to do that in the past. Still no issues with mi...

Looks like it may be a problem with the glass covering the sensor: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=37177457 I was ready to plump for it but may wait a while. I wonder if Pentax will extend the cashback period? I wonder if Chris at SRS will announce here when he...

Thanks Sapphie. If true, that's good news for all Pentax users, not just K5 owners. Let's hope we get official confirmation soon. G

...and: 4-) the problem IS, or ISNīT. Pentax declares that once they know that the problem is in a defect of the construction of the glass, it's not something that can change with time, as sometimes we have supposed, due to heat or oil, or something like that. That's not ! Dan

Perhaps the heat is exacerbating some flaw in the glass or some coating or adhesive layer.

Meaning that if you did not have had the problem first but have 'blobs' after 700 shutter activations it should not be the glass that is at fault but may just be 'oil splatter' and should be easily cleaned. But then that wouldn't be 'the problem' as in this widespread K-5 production fault, but just ...

Amateur Photographer have found out about the sensor issue now, front page news :( Chris @ SRS :) (great shop, even though I think I might have got myself banned after finding a couple of nice bargins) sorted me out on Friday with a replacement, their reputation is fully deserved.
