No, it's not normal. Was this a new machine, or second-hand? Whichever, send it back.

I assumed the play was perfectly normal. It makes the buttons more ergonomic as the angle of your thumb changes.
My *ist DS and brand new K10D are like this - and fine to use.

It all depends what you mean by "loose" and "play" so it's not easy to make a judgement on whether it's normal or not.
If in doubt, why not have a look at another camera to see if it is the same?

I have just checked my K10Ds, and guess what? The controller and OK button ARE a bit loose. However, before you mentioned it, I would have sworn on my life that they weren't.
So, sorry. They are a bit loose, and it's normal.

Yep, mine is too. A sort of 'wiggly' loose but not at all making you think it's going to fall off.I have just checked my K10Ds, and guess what? The controller and OK button ARE a bit loose. However, before you mentioned it, I would have sworn on my life that they weren't.
I'd have said no, too, if you'd asked me, but not on George's life..

That is true, but I think it's more likey to be a normal amount of play than not. It is enough to give the impression that it might be faulty. I think it actually makes it better to use than more fixed buttons. "Float" might be a better word for it.It all depends what you mean by "loose" and "play" so it's not easy to make a judgement on whether it's normal or not.

Not a bad idea.
