K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
Just coming up to 1000 shots (of total rubbish if I'm honest, but that's another story) on my replacement K-5 and so thought I would do a sensor test to make sure everything is ok. Imagine my surprise to find this ... by , on Flickr

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
Mike, perhaps your problems actually demonstrate just how good the K5 is? After all with a lesser camera am sure you would have thrown in the towel by now.Davex. I have to assume that you meant a lesser Pentax as it's a Pentax forum? I have the same sensor in another make body and have not had an...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
The Kr doesn't have the same sensor. The Nikon D7000 does with no problems reported, which would imply it is went wrong in the assembly of the cameras. It is unfortunate for Mike that his replacement, which took so ridiculously long to get to him, turns out to have been from an old batch. In fact...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
The D7000 isn't without problems I could show longer threads (than the two above) of hot pixels in video mode on the D7000. I don't use video on my K7 or D7000. It does not have sensor stains and non of my DSLR's appear to have FF issues with any of the lenses I have used on them. But it's irre...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
This is from my replacement K5: Real world shot: Spots detail: These were the spots that cleaning couldn't shift and I only noticed them after recent cleaning once the other dust spots had gone. I took a pre cleaning image and these spots were there and on close examination look ...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
This is the Camera manufacturing Date and Serial number ! What we really need to know is the 'Sensor' Date or Number ! They may still be using sensors from an older (BAD) batch !? :( Think I'll stick with my K-7 until this is absolutely cleared up ! .

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
Graphic Converter is indeed editing software for Macs only. It is very reasonably priced and it is well worth checking out: see Galoot's link above. It revealed, amidst a mountain of information from a raw file, that my 4xxxx replacement K-5 was manufactured on 15 February 2011 (my sensor-stained re...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
Can I ask how a camera develops sensor spots after so many clicks? From what I understand it's oil from the mirror mechanism being sprayed onto the sensor. The mirror and shutter is much faster than before. But I could be wrong... Matt

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
I don't think it's that, Matt... the marks are uncleanable and some clever bods have worked out they are under the AA filter. Pentax stated that some units were shipped with stained sensors, not that the sensor was prone to being sprayed with oil in use. Dunno how the spots appear over time, some...

K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
From what I've read elsewhere and I have no idea whether or not it is accurate, Pentax Germany stated that the reason the stains can appear in time is that in some cases liquid got into the sensor during assembly and this can leave stains on eventual evaporation. Some process change to the assembl...

K5 vs K10D - a question about their respective designs
Don't buy anything from jessops! Their 'after sales sevice' is non-existent. :evil: Yes, especially if there are sensor 'stains' and all the exchange rigmarole, or has that been solved now?

Mirrorless rumours
Tiny sensor AND really ugly- well done Pentax! However the prosect of a k-mount mirrorless is definitely good news.
