:( That's a yes. Definitely staining. That is very bad of Warehouse Express. As Algi says they shouldn't have sent one from that period out without checking it first. Get your money back if you can and get one from SRS.

It looks like it. You could try another shot slightly lighter and view it at 1:1 If you have any method of cleaning the sensor you could also try that. There's quite a bit on the US forum but you will have to go back to about Jan-Feb. This thread shows some shots

so is that a yes? Not a good start with Pentax ,oh dear! Don't worry , I have been there before when i dumped all my nikon gear (D700) and bought the k-5 from amazon which was stained and was disheartened, but now with the new one from srs don't miss the d700 at all. I have the 43mm and 70mm whic...

bigger form left corner. I don't think those are dust as the sample image fro dust removal is clear

I'm more concerned about centre left tbh! Looks like classic string of pearls to me.

so is that a yes? Not a good start with Pentax ,oh dear! Definately a yes, but with a Nov 2010 model in May 2011 and with fingerprints in the viewfinder it does appear most of your problems are with the supplier. The 'get a refund and buy from SRS' advice most definately applies here!

Don't worry, I'm on my third K-5 Had it been any other camera I would have stopped at 2 and bought something else. Corner looks like dust, first one is def a stain.

The 'get a refund and buy from SRS' advice most definately applies here! That's definitely good advice...Warehouse Express are a Pro dealer and more than aware of the sensor stain issue - very poor service on their part to send out this model, they certainly wouldn't be keeping my cash. I only b...

Looks like dust to me .. you need to do a wet clean first. Stain comes in a string 99% of the time. Edit: 19/05/2010 ? ... is that correct?

Thats the photo generation date, not camera production date.... ;) Either that or your camera was this day last year... ;) Camera production date is much further down in the Photome EXIF data....

Either that or your camera was made today... ;) A year ago today .. before the K-5 was announced even.

Mine got very dirty very quickly. I used the Visible Dust mini cleaning kit from SRS : Cleaned it nicely and it has stayed clean since. Certainly worth a try.
