Hi all, and thanks a lot for all the input and opinions and clarifications.
Meanwhile, i finally got to charge the battery, buy a proper SD card and pick up a lens (M 50mm f1,7). Turning on the camera, and the moving part still, well, moves. Attaching the lens on it, as well. Turning on the SR, as well. However, activating the live view mode, and while on it, the moving part moves no more. Back to normal mode (no LV), the movement is back again. As for the images, all look good to me, but i am still around the manual, there are a lot of settings i need to better understand.
So, does this may suggest that the moving part is not SR related? What could than be? I will be taking more photos over the weekend, and try to see if i am better returning it (i bought it from Amazon, in another country, so it would mean a loooong and difficult wait).

Originally posted by normhead My bottom line her is if you don't have to shake it to hear the noise it's probably OK. If it's noisey during normal use handling I'd send it back. The fact that it's OK right away doesn't mean there isn't something loose that could cause premature failure. Even reasonably fast rotation in mine doesn't cause a noise. I have to shake it with some force to feel a very faint clunk.
It is not really the noise, it is more that i feel the movement. Like perhaps, if i was to guess, something of the weight of the battery, moving 2mm or so. And i sill can feel it, even with the camera turned on... But i do not shake my camera, i feel this thing just by tilting it, to the left, then to the right, then tom the left agin, etc.

Originally posted by Gimbal Exactly, some people just does not pick up on subtle things, at all.
This is a Pentax thing in all their DSLRs since the K10d, the sensor is loose and can move around up/down and left right a few mm. Some cameras might need a little bump for the sensor to shift, others slide more easily. Nothing to worry about.
But that (loose sensor that can move around up/down and left right a few mm) may happen, regardless of the camera being turned off or on? In my case, only in LV mode i stop feeling any movement inside the camera...
