Used the dust removal feature several times, but no change. The Arctic Butterfly can be bought in New Zealand, but it is NZ$279. Considering the camera only cost $900 new, and now that it is second hand and probably only worth $500 I would like to try an alternative first.

How about one of those mini computer vacum cleaners, without touching the sensor of course.

Will only touch the sensor as a last resort.

Is it a simple job to clean the sensor. Do I need a special kit.

I love the sun. Who would want to be taking pics in the rain.

Buy an AA adapter. AA rechargeables last 8.9% longer than the D-LI109.

I know what you mean. I bought the AA adapter, on E-Bay very cheap. Now I have two different battery packs and chargers. Just as good to get a spare battery.

However, if I am anywhere where I have no charger the AA may come in handy.

I'd keep what I got and go for a cruise.

Damn, Was looking at the D7000 as my next camera. You get to the stage that you are too scared to buy another camera, for a host of reasons from it may not suit me to its stuffed.

Read through this thread. Chris, when are you going to set up a SRS branch in New Zealand. I would purchase from such a retailer, even if it cost me a little extra. I belive in fair payment for a fair service or product.

Do you post to New Zealand.

John, I have a great deal of respect for you, and you look like a decent chap. You seem to be assuring any Pentax K5 purchaser that they should not be concerned. I am lucky that I am not caught up in this, but I would be interested to know if anybody who has bought a K5 after this date, being 25 August 2011, and have Sensor problems.

This would really show whether the problem has well and truly been solved.
