That looks like the most bizarre sensor defect imaginable.

Subject: K20D - Hot pixel ?


After approx 3850 images, my K20D started producing a defect in the images, not related to SD card or battery charge. It occurs at all ISO's, all lenses, shutter speeds & apertures. Interestingly it is not apparent in live view. I've run the pixel mapping routine several time with no affect on this spot.

It evidences itself as a noticeable bright spot near the RH edge of the image (in landscape orientation), with a vertical black line from top to bottom running thru the spot.

Its close enough to the RH edge that it can be cropped out with only a small loss of image size, but I don't want to have to crop every image.

The body will probably find its way to Pentax Repair, but I thought I'd get some input from the collective minds on the list. Depending on the cost to repair, this may push me into getting a K7.

Your thoughts are welcomed
