K5 Sensor Issues...
Nice to see the Southampton Hedge End branch have added a display of Pentax bodies and lenses. Thats not a bad Jessops as far as I remember. Vic.

Thats not a bad Jessops as far as I remember. Vic. They do employ at least one actual photographer at the branch (A Nikon user) who certainly knows his stuff. I've not visited recently for obvious reasons (no Pentax for sale).

I'm new here, but thought I would report in: mine's a train wreck too. Bought for me in the UK from Bristol Cameras. Serial 3822704. I've emailed Pentax France who haven't responded yet, and this morning I emailed Pentax UK asking what I should do.

Rumour has it that France is somewhat lacking in customer service? I wouldn't worry though, Pentax have acknowledged the problem. So it should be a farmality to get sorted. But I believe it is Bristol Camera that is supposed to do the foodwork as that's where you bought it.

With a bit of luck mine is somewhere between Watford and Holland, probably stuck in a snowdrift :?.

I'm just happy to know it is on it's way, somewhere. Probably stuck at Heathrow, though I have no idea which airport they actually use. With a bit of luck it is Stanstead :wink:. I don't expect it before Christmas tbh, though it would be great if it did make it. Jules, I hope yours reaches you ...

I've now another K-5 from Jessops stock, 391xxxx serial number. Came with firmware 1.01 already installed. So far so good: There seems to be a shadow at 9 o'clock about 1cm or so in. I would look at that one. Has got an oval shape to it. May be able to clear it up on a sensor clean.

Thanks for noticing that I will check to see if that blob is repeated on other shots, it may simply be an out of focus mark on the white panel. It isn't, as yet, any 'sensor smear' spotting.

Just make sure. I know I am not the only one who has spotted this. There are actually a couple of spots you want to check on. Don't get me wrong, this is so much better than your fist issue but you paid ££££'s and more for the camera and you should have one without any issue whatsoever. I would n...

At least there's lots of white stuff to do test shots on, Jules.

SRS arranged for my K5(with sensor issues) to be picked up on Monday 20th, K5 was picked up by Parcelforce and I've had a phone call from SRS this morning to say replacement is on its way. Hopefully I'll get it before Xmas. 1st class service from SRS yet again!

I had almost made up my mind to replace my * ist DL2 with a K5 but it looks as if I may have to look elsewhere shame as I have been using pentax for over 20 years as I am now on a small pension and do not want to bye in to a load of sensor problems Regards :(Photowam

There are plenty of cheaper bodies like the K-r and even the K-x would be a huge step up from the istDL2! Silver lining: saving £500 could buy you and your camera a very nice foreign holiday :wink:
