It is probably the Shake Reduction mechanism. Look in the manual, there will be a warning that you may hear some noise.

I believe it's to do with the floating sensor and Shake Reduction system. It's like that with the K10D too, though interestingly not with the K20D. It is normal.

It will be the shake reduction as mentioned by Terry above, nothing to worry about.

Correction: I can feel & hear something loose in my K20D too, though it's more subtle than it was with my K10D.

I got my first Pentax DSLR today and just registered here too. I wanted to ask if anyone of you have the K-m or K2000? I'm a bit worried as when I shake the camera I can hear something wobbling inside, like a big loose element. The camera works fine though. Is that normal?
Many thanks
