Originally posted by normhead So what is the good of letting the blow hards go on and on with out of date and irrelevant information? Where is the good that comes from this? We don't even know if this guy has a sensor stain, we suspect he doesn't, but we're never going to find out because he has "sensor stain" so engraved in his head that he assumes that's his problem and doesn't even bother to find out if he does... how does that help? This guy was obviously on the fence about Pentax, having a problem just leads him to believe all the anti-Pentax hogwash published on this site is true.
Thanks very much for your concern, I will tell you where the good is.
The good is that people know what the potential problems of a camera are and can check them when there still has the chance of no question return. Warned means armed.
Second, as in the concrete case, one knows how do sensor stains look like.
So when you see something strange, you can identify what it is.
Not dust spots and blah blah, but real stains.
I know they should not be appearing any more.
But they still do.
Excise me, but I do trust my own eyes and don't need anyone to reconfirm.
I have seen them.
Finally, this is a post to wan people that stains still appear.
So don't be surprised if you decide to go the K5 way.
Cheers
