Your caps lock button broke on your keyboard?! Maybe give them a follow up call in the new year. Nothing to be done before xmas especially in this weather. Do the marks look similar to the ones you've seen in this thread?

Thanks Mike P , i think one of them appeared when i blew it so i think you could be right would you leave it then, and no my cap lock aint bust Blowing on the sensor certainly doesn't help (unless you are using a rocket blower). I would personally buy a wet cleaning kit first or get it professionall...

I got my replacement K5 last night, so thank you very much SRS. I haven't checked the sensor yet but hope all is OK. Regarding sensor cleaning, I'll let you in on a secret that I have kept to myself for a few years now. I once decided to clean my SLR (Pentax of course) and thought the sensor might ...

Still waiting for my replacement K-5 to come from Amazon as they are currently out of stock..... This for me is good news as the way I read it, for a major retailer to state that they will not have the item in stock for 3 to 5 weeks, is a clear sign that the reports of each camera at the European wa...

My replacement just arrived from SRS. Quite frankly amazing since the faulty one was only collected at around 5pm on Tuesday. Can't say I expected to get one back before Christmas, so assuming this one is clean I'll be one happy customer :)

My first one looked pretty good compared to Mikes but none the less the Staining was still there, It was from SRS. I think as the knowledge of the problem gains momentum Retailers will have to be a bit more open and responsive. @Nipper, Clifton has always seemed like a good Company to me and I'm sur...

Mine had marks similar to nipper's, and SRS have replaced it. Haven't got mine yet - it's still knee deep in snow somewhere. There's always tomorrow though :D.

@Adventura: A personal opinion is not to be confused with a statement of fact to be argued. A personal opinion is just a personal opinion - regardless of who's it is. None is more valid than any other. @Jimbro66: I don't understand the reasoning for your comment directed at me but I will ensure that...
