Got a day off so decided to do another test to make sure it wasnt a mark on the wall I was picking up.
Very strange looking problem.

Looks like a new life form developing on the sensor.

Been reading all these threads as I was seriously thinking about getting back to Pentax with a K5, might leave it for a little while though
That looks suspiciously like some sort of oil, didn't Nikon users have trouble with that a little while back?
Maybe over zealous lubrication of the mechanism rather than a sensor fault, would have thought a sensor manufacturing issue would be uniform rather than these random paterns.

Not sure about Nikon, but Canon had an oil problem and correctly
issued notification about it:

On the other forum there has been confirmation from some owners that cleaning sensors couldn't remove these stains and technical analysis suggests that particles are embedded within the layers that make up the sensor assembly.
Spotmatic?

Looks like mine too just that I have got a 'string' of them. Lets hope Pentax comes up with a resolution fast.

Well the difference in Poll Numbers is getting less. Come on - there must be more than 16 K5 Owners in the Forum - make a Test (if you dare)

The D7000 does have an odd "hot pixel" effect during video (not all D7000 examples). Nikon have responded immediately announcing a firmware fix? No other tech issues reported.
I think the Nikon firmware will just do some sort of Pixel mapping, I don't think the Pentax problem will be so easily fixed.
