Just got word from Pentax repair, that my K20D needs a new CCD image sensor.
( : - {
Cost to repair $402.
If it was a little more I'd probably be buying a K-7.

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
