Mirrorless rumours

Tiny sensor but I actually like the design. :D Maybe East Asians think alike. :D After a while with Panny GH1 and the K-5 I'm pretty sure I'm not interested in the mirrorless K unless VF lag is close to zero and there is a hybrid sort of AF. CDAF is just not fast enough.

Mirrorless rumours

A small camera with a compact-size sensor. Why, pray tell, would a consumer interested in such a device not just buy a compact? Doing a mirrorless camera would be a decent idea in itself, but this? I think it's a couple of days early.

Mirrorless rumours

Would like to see a mirror less Pentax with the K Mount, I've been considering a Sony NEX but would prefer to be able to use lenses across both my SLR and Compact so I would be more than up for buying one of those, especially if the rumours are correct about it using a Sony Sensor as the NEX series ...

Help! Sensor cleaning made it worse.

My sensor was showing a few spots of dust - not surprising since I have been changing lenses outdoors a fair bit. I purchased a Rocket Blower and a VisibleDust Arctic Butterfly SL700 sensor brush to attempt to rectify the problem. After a few blasts with the blower and a once over with the brush - a...

Help! Sensor cleaning made it worse.

If she cleaned hers just before you did yours then maybe dust from her sensor was still on the brush, then you deposited it on your sensor?

Help! Sensor cleaning made it worse.

I had exactly the same with my K5 the first time I cleaned it with my arctic butterfly. I think there must be some initial coating over the sensor. A clean with a cleaning swab cleaned it.

Canon dust is not compatible with Pentax sensors I'm afraid. :lol::lol::lol:

That doesn't look like dust to me!....:(...you may have a problem there my friend!

That doesn't look like dust to me!....:(...you may have a problem there my friend! No it's grease type muck off the brush. I made the exact same mistake of using a brush on my K120D sensor after seeing a couple of spots of dust, and was horrified afterwards. It looked just like Mark's OP. I did the...
