My K-x on/off switch started getting stiff the other day, and the shutter button didn't return sometimes after a shot was taken. After 2 years I thought it must be some dust accumulation, and decided to spray some switch cleaner into, and around the button and switch.... no more problems.
Just tried the same treatment with a cleaning silicone spray and the switch loosened up considerably. Still a bit tight but no where near as tight as it was. Thanks for the tip. I have been traveling in hot, dry and dusty conditions since last November so I think I would blame dust rather than point the finger at Pentax; there is too much of that already! With a IIs on pre-order I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks.
