Thanks for noticing that I will check to see if that blob is repeated on other shots, it may simply be an out of focus mark on the white panel. It isn't, as yet, any 'sensor smear' spotting.

They do employ at least one actual photographer at the branch (A Nikon user) who certainly knows his stuff. I've not visited recently for obvious reasons (no Pentax for sale).

Jessops have ordered me another K-5 which should be in on Tuesday so hopefully that one will be a keeper, they have let me keep my K-5 to use until then.

Nice to see the Southampton Hedge End branch have added a display of Pentax bodies and lenses.

Although I checked this at the shop and when I got it home and reported 'all clear' in the poll... however after about 230 shots:

I'm in the clear - picked mine up from Jessops (sorry SRS this time). 384xxxx serial and no marks to be found.

Oh joy - I too have ordered one from Jessops. I can see I'm going to be spending some time testing it in the shop while some Jessop clod is telling me I should have bought a Nikon

I have a question for those who are seeing this problem: does it show in the lcd screen or only when viewed at 100% on a monitor?

Well I do hope that the cashback scheme this time is a little better managed. Look back to an earlier thread discussing the never-ending saga of claiming the cashback last time it was offered.

My point is that sometime between the time of initial purchase, and the actual receipt of the cashback, the shop price will have dropped anyway to less than the cashback gave you.

Gee I sound bitter don't I

Mine is derived from my initials, or wot some people call me. It started as my Cix username back in 1994 and as it's usually free I use it on many online fora.
