Advice re sensor cleaning function
Russ, Don't worry, Just make sure you only wipe the sensor ONCE in each direction (that is: from left to right, then right to left, using each side of the swab only once) and you'll be fine. I had a group of dust spots on my Kx which would not budge, until I used the swab....now ....clean as ...

Advice re sensor cleaning function
I tend to use an Artic Butterfly, generally removes the need for a wet wash and tbh only need to us it 3 or 4 times a year, and I prob shoot over 500 frames a month on average.

Advice re sensor cleaning function
I had to regularly wet clean my K10D and K20D sensors, which had the Low frequency sensor cleaner. The k-5 usingthe ultrasonic HF cleaning I've never had to clean either K-5s sensor for over 2 years since I've had them. Impressed

Advice re sensor cleaning function
You could buy the Pentax O-ICK1 sensor cleaning kit. I find it works well when a blower doesn't shift it. I find with my K5 the sensor needs a clean every year or so.

Image quality - CCD vs. CMOS

Why is nobody selling K-7s?
The K-7 shares a sensor with the K20D and up to ISO400 this is absolutely fine. beyond that noise does steadily creep in. The difference becomes apparent when we switch to the K-5, where up to ISO1600 can be used freely and it's good far beyond that. I just use the ISO I need without any worry. T...

Why is nobody selling K-7s?
I don't think there's been any questioning over the IQ improvements the K5 brought with it - the 14bit capture vs K7s 12 must add something - no doubt there is greater light gathering ability in the lower half of the DR spectrum. Maybe the ETTR concept is not so applicable with such good DR? But ...

I don't think there's been any questioning over the IQ improvements the K5 brought with it - the 14bit capture vs K7s 12 must add something It's mainly just that the Sony Exmor sensors are just better and more efficient than the old Samsung one in the K7. There's not really much difference in perfor...

Why is nobody selling K-7s?
... I can easily counter that argument by saying that the Nokia 808, regardless of what sensor it had, can capture images that you'd find impossible to capture with a K-7 or K-5 simply because the jobsworths with the Hi-Viz supermen outfits would frog march you off the premises within nanoseconds. S...

Why is nobody selling K-7s?
Nigel - out of curiosity - what did you have before the K-7? The K7 is my first ever digital SLR, and my first ever Pentax camera. I made the decision to jump in to the brand based on how good the K7 felt, handled, the controls and features I could see in the shop - and an excellent price for all I ...
