What a find, Pictures of every day life, lucky or careful composition? Pictures of real merit and should be seen world wide.

Copy of email sent from pentax


This sensor-problem has allready been tackled by Pentax.

All cameras that have this problem are taken back from the stores, and cameras that are affected will be replaced by a new one.
At this point there should be no affected cameras in the shops anymore.

I would advise you to check the serial-number of the camera before you buy it: only cameras with an SN starting with 38 can be affected; cameras starting with 39 should not have the problem.


I hope that your question has been answered to your satisfaction.
Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

When replying, please make sure this email is included.

With kind regards,


Hans Libbers

I wouldn't let the sensor problems put you off. I'm sure Pentax won't be put any more cameras out there with these problems, buy from SRS if you do have problems they'll sort it.
I've been using the K5 for a couple of weeks now and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Thanks but what do pentax have to say about this

Right now, Pentax USA rep Ned Bunnell says Pentax is investigating.
People with problems need to report it to where they purchased it. As people here are saying, reputable sources like SRS are being better than good to thier customers.[/quote]I think I will hold on to my DL2 and x70
