Let me preface this by saying that if I had just bought a K-7 and
noticed this I'd be disturbed, if not angry. However in a lot of the
examples the issue is hard to see even in the enhanced images. Under
normal circumstances with a good exposure, not trying every Photoshop
trick to wring a bit more shadow detail out of an image, you might never
see this.

Marc,
Not that I want to alarm you, but you are not the only one with this
problem. In fact, we might want to call it an epidemic:

I'm sure a firmware patch will come soon, but I would feel a lot
better if Pentax had bought sensors that didn't overheat as easily.
(Anyone at Samsung listening?)
I wonder if the weather-sealing prevents the sensor from cooling efficiently...
