I studied my K-7's sensor shot at ƒ22 at a white wall 4 feet away, lens at Infinity. I saw no 'blobs' or 'strings of blobs. I did see a soft dirt spot just off center that needs cleaning, but it's so soft and un-noticable on my images at 100%. What was freaky was enlarging the center of the image as far as Preview would go, which showed the many different colors the pixels show. At full screen it looks as smooth as glass however.
