Thanks all for your posts.
I'm fully reassured; my camera works great, and the described moving part in there is not an assembly error; the sensor moving around explains the soft "plop"s when rotating the camera; it apparently happens in more or less all kind of settings and situations, even if the chip "should be hold in place", but no problem as usually I will not move the camera around while exposing :rolleyes:
Concerning the origin of the "low-pitched whistling noise", I've just made a test : in my case it can also happen (depending on the orientation in which you hold the camera) if SR is turned off.
If this noise is really related to SR, then this could be plausible, as even if SR is turned off the electromagnetic SR-device probably nevertheless holds the CCD in place. That might also be the reason why it is written somewhere in the manual that turning SR off does not save power (if I remember well).

Hi all,
first post here, just joined. Sorry to start with such an unmotivating thread :o
So, I've got a brand new K100D Super, and I am very pleased with it. I've noticed that when i turn the camera around in all directions (i.e. from bottom down (horizontal) to left down (vertical), right down, or top down, front down, etc), something is moving in there. Some relatively large part falls in place making a soft "plopp" in each direction. I would guess it moves about one millimeter around.
Is this the shake reduction ?
It's not the lens, neighter the batteries. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if something is not in screwed in place :confused:
The scary thing is that depending on the position in which the moving piece rests, I get a funny low-pitched whistling as long as the shutter is open, when exposing say a few seconds -- I did not expect this as there is no mechanical stuff moving while the exposition lasts. It seems not related to the shake reduction setting.
Otherwise anything is fine, pictures are great.
Anyone with similar observations ? Would be reassuring :)
Cheers from Switzerland !
