Well, it is not as bad as some I have seen, but there does appear to be a cluster of small blobs central to the sensor with a couple of others that look a bit like dust bunnies below them.

Time passes quickly Mike. One thought with the sensor, if its identical to the unit Nikon use in the D7000, then the "stain" issue cannot be attributed to Sony as the D7000 has no similar issues.K10D wrote:

Nikon did not respond immediately with a firmware fix, it has taken them a month since the first reports to actually admit there is a problem and do something about it. By my reckoning that gives Pentax another 4 weeks 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 never had overheating with video on the K7 and no hot pixels with the D7000 as neither have ever been used in video mode, nor will be.
Let's hope you get a "sorted" K5 soon.
Best regards-from the grey side.
Too far from a shore.
