Thanks for all the replies - got the same from PentaxForums.

I am somewhat relieved (gross understatement).

Now back to Xmas.

Happy Xmas to you all.

Hi,

I've noticed that something is moving (loose) inside my K5 (bought last Thursday) I can't see anything, but if I move the camera from side to side I can hear and feel the movement. Its not the battery or the lens and I can't see any obvious movement in the mirror assembly. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations. I picked up mine on Thursday. I charged the battery for an hour and that gave me time to play around with some settings and take a few shots. Full charge took the specified time (six and a half hours).

I think the strap is a bit disappointing, so I'll get something else eventually. However, I'm very pleased with the camera.

Hope you enjoy yours.

Merry Xmas to all.

Thanks to all for the welcome.

Hi,

Just picked up a K5 today with the 18-55 and a bargain 35 2.4. Seriously impressed with the IQ from this camera even with inexpensive lenses. I'm a long time Olympus user, both film and digital and wanted something that was relatively small but with a pro spec - something Olympus should have delivered, but didn't. I have a few other cameras and lenses - canon F1, EOS 650, Leica M8, Fuji X100. Still use them all, but I drift in and out of film depending on the time I have available to develop.

Looking forward to a long term relationship with Pentax (only got here after a lot of research) and experiencing some of those limited primes.
