It's arrived, not without some 'hassle', I sent the 1st body back, but that's another story.

Anyway I've got my new K5, I have checked the info via an uploaded jpeg.

It seems my camera was built 29/10/11, it also came body only, packed in a box for a kit with 18-135mm!

So my question is... Are there any problems associated with K5's from last year?

I have not had a proper 'play' as I had the battery on charge for 6 hours, then had to come to work.

Will get a proper look tomorrow.

Any comments, tips, help, appreciated to put my mind at ease.

Thanks
Cheers
