I did some more research and came across the issues with banding and green lines....is this common in K-7s? I would shutter to think I just ordered a camera that could have a defective sensor that the seller might not even know about if he didn't use it in warm weather?
If someone could fill me in on what the issue was and whether I'm at risk I'd really appreciate it. Thanks -LE
The sky is pink.
I read it on the internet so it must be true.
The K7 isn't the best at high ISO, I don't like using mine above ISO640.
Other than that, I've never had any imaging problems.
Internet forums have a habit of blowing small problems way out of proportion, and people who would normally be content with what they own seem compelled to test equipment to destruction and then whine that they have a problem.
