Not to worry. I'm still happy with the K-5. Unlike the situation with the rotten K-7, there's light at the end of the tunnel. The spot problem isn't so bad that I couldn't use the camera. I'm just waiting for things to settle down a little so I won't be without a camera for well over a month which is the current waiting time for an exchange through Pentax Germany. Besides, I'm waiting until all bodies made before week 50 in 2010 have reliably been cleared out of the the system. We keep seeing reports from people getting replacement cams with spots. There remain a number of minor issues like the front-focus prob which is of no concern to me because I don't use autofocus and there are still too many mushy trigger buttons and unreliable rear thumbwheels. Not to forget those mysterious stabiliser hick-ups in combination with the live view. There is no doubt Hoya-Pentax have a massive QC problem. I suspect serious underfunding or extreme profit pressure. It's sad to see how all the good work done by the Pentax engineers is ruined by those controller boneheads at the Hoya HQ. Ralf -- Ralf R.
