Agree with Mike, it`s not an isolated case. Sent my K5 to Johnson's for a new button. Was only away for a week. If you want to remove a lens before sending just square off a cocktail stick and press in the stalk of the release button, worked for me. The button has an integral dust/water seal so best not to use the body until it`s been repaired.

.. Thanks - i hope mine only takes a week to get repaired, but i have taped it back in place with blacktape in the meantime, feels secure and looks sealed
. Did you have any further problems with yours after it was repaired Cedric? - i don't want to be worrying about it coming off everytime i take the camera out of the bag.

Hi Mary
No problems afterwards, it certainly felt different afterwards. Less of a wobble to the button head. It`s a strange thing because the button on my K5 also came of in the case.

Same thing here. A very much more solid feel to it after the repair.
