Would it cause a problem per se if the sensor exceeded the resolution of the lens? This already happens with many of the lenses we use.
I think it depends to some extent on just how much more the sensor exceeds the lens resolution. Pentax have already released a MkII version of the kit lens for example.

The other pentaxforum database showing that the II version has been discontinued. I think the k-r/k-h (yeah I think the k-r replacement will be called K-h) will ship with DAL version amd K5/K3 will ship with one of the 18-xx/x wr lenses

Interesting, i wonder if it's the same with all manufacturers.

That's why I always register my products first, even before using it.

Just an update:

Followed above, still nothing. Tried powering on with menu button as for firmware check/update. Nothing. Firmware was 1.11 from day 1.


It's all packed and ready to go back

The K5 might have a few issues, but it's such a joy to hold and use. I cannot see anything replacing it, not even a perfect K-r ( does not feel the same in the hand)


I'm going to try don's (and anvh) suggestions when my batteries are fully charged. But I have booked it to go back to Amazon tomorrow. I am tempted to go to jessops and pick one from them.

As far I know there is no pro centres in Central Scotland?

Are reading my mind Mike? First the DA 35 Limited and now this.

I want both.

Grrr, it's dead, caput. CPR has not helped this time. Any ideas?

Amazon says they wont exchange, only refund as this is the second time I've had a problem with the camera despite explaining it is not the same issue. Should I get the K-r from then instead? Or any tips to resurrect my beloved?

Oh sorted. Removed lens and turned on.

Exactly the type of shots I want. Well the lens will have to wait as my K5 needs sorting.

Was just about to go for a walk, but my K5 seems dead. Can't power it on. Tried another battery, still nothing. Is there a reset button somewhere that I can't find?
