K5 Sensor Issues...
They are reviewing a Spotmatic next week :shock: :lol: at least they noticed Pentax...... I pity the guy at Pop Photo that got the unenviable task of writing a review of he k-5.... I'm sure his job is on the line, and it won't be easy to word it in such a way that Canon doesn't pull thier advertisi...

Have Pop Photo reviewed the K-5 yet? They didn't give the Nikon with the same sensor a very good review :mrgreen: They do normally give Pentax a decent write up, nearly all the lenses I've seen reviewed have been highly rated, some higher than I thought they should be :shock:

Looks very much like it. What is the serial number and date of manufacture camera? (you can find that out using photome). WEX = Warehouse Express, they should change/refund it easily enough.

Well I called the company and I have been assured that there in not a problem sorting this out that Pentax have allocated replacement stocks for this eventuality and this k5 will be collected on Wednesday and once it has been inspected to ensure its not a dust problem a new camera will be sent out....

Partly it was also that I wanted to wait a good while, to make sure I didn't get a replacement which still had stains. My shutter count is up to abo...
