Originally posted by d.bradley I haven't been following this thread too closely, but I was surprised today when I spoke to Pentax Canada that my K5 had is on vacation in Japan as we speak...three weeks and counting. I've got my k10d as a backup, but I have some video projects I'd like to do before the snow melts, so fingers crossed it's coming home soon.
Yep... brought my K-5 to Pentax Canada on February 7th for repair related to the stained sensor. Although they assured me the only 2 possible outcomes would be that either they fix it locally or replace it; I learned last week that my K5 was on its way to Japan for repair... They also initially assured me that this would be a max. turnaround time of 10-15 days. Credibility => 0
