... I asked how many with stained sensors they had recieved and they stated "Not Many". Most of them have been plain old dirty sensors, which have been cleaned and are to be returned to their owners. The issue of how many will therefore probably never be solved because who will own up to sending the...

Finally got round to doing mine....and it's fine! Clean as a clean thing that has just been cleaned (and then cleaned again to make sure.) That'll be 3.5% then :twisted: Serial no.: 3824xxx

Well it sounds like some of the Sensor issues are just down to needing a tiny clean but seem to have caused some moral panic. I guess people just think, my camera is new, I should not need to clean it if that was the problem. For other people they may have thought I have a problem i will send it off...

My dealer told me that the main problem is that most people just don't know how to take the camera out of the box, even though there are several videos on youtube showing how to! :shock: :lol: :lol:

Umn. Smeggy.... hate to point this out... but a poll on a brand forum isn't going to be anywhere near representative of the market share. But you don't know that. :) - You're just making more assumptions You can be argumentative if you choose, but unless you are factoring ACTUAL sales and ACTU...

No idea where Stefan is, but give him credit for caring about what he does. You may or may not agree with him, but he has a passion for his photography and I have to respect that.

Checked my K5 (early s/n 3827xx from SRS). Sensor is clean but for a few insignificant marks; lesser versions of the ones seen on this forum. I would never have noticed these marks had this topic not been raised and they will present no problem to me in the future because they are essentially invisi...

Stefan with an F chaps :wink:. Yup, I have often muttered that under my breath when reading his posts :D He (hopefully) knows I'm only joking .. (most of the time anyway).

Although I checked this at the shop and when I got it home and reported 'all clear' in the poll... however after about 230 shots: Compared to on day of purchase (iso6400 so tad noisy): So back to Jessops I will go... wish me luck.

Jessops have ordered me another K-5 which should be in on Tuesday so hopefully that one will be a keeper, they have let me keep my K-5 to use until then. Nice to see the Southampton Hedge End branch have added a display of Pentax bodies and lenses.
