Ken, How long did it take to get an answer from Pentax about your K20D ? Just
like to know how long before I would get an answer on my K7 if I send it in..
But mine should still be under warranty.. Thanks Joe

Subject: Fw: K20D - Hot pixel ?
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.
