But it doesn't actually say that thoramay, does it? It says operating range -10C to 40C. In realisty, these parameters can be exceeded, but performance may be compromised.

Not convinced Algi, but you never know!

Sorry, but the polls are flawed as are all these polls. Those who vote are self-selecting and only a very, very small sample. All these faults get over-blown on the web, it's the nature of the beast.

There doesn't have to be a conspiracy every time something goes wrong.

No. Zeiss Ikon came into being late 1926, born from the merger of several German manufacturers - Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann, Goerz and Ica.

Many thanks Chris, I'm sure that will set a lot of minds at rest.

I've made the post a sticky for now until it's all done and dusted.

The split with Sony pellicle-mirror cameras is 70% to sensor and 30% to electronic viewfinder.

Leica had dreadful trouble with their sensors and had to supply special filters for all the lenses - up to two free per customer. High price is no guarantee that there will be no faults.

Manufacturers could have avoid these kind of issues if they had a superb QC

The trouble is that no-one wants to pay for that these days. If every camera was rigorously tested then the price would soar. I assume that they are batch-tested and as long as faults fall below a certain percentage then that is acceptable.

Mostly -10 or more. Couldn't use the K5 in that temperature.

Why not, it's rated to those temperatures and to be honest the K20D doesn't mind sub-zero either as long as it's kept warm between shots?

The older cameras will process slower, but apart from that they are good and worth the money. I can see a market for lower cost second hand models for use in unfriendly environments, but less so now that we have WR bodies and lenses.
