Sony has Responded Promptly to the 5N Video Clicking Issue

Yes, "every camera has issues" but the more important thing is how the maker reacts with those reported issues for a new camera.

Well, Sony USA has responded to the clicking found sound when the NEX-5N is shaken during video recording. See what Sony Alpha NEX Blog reports.

This reminds me of how long it took for Pentax to respond for the first time about the K-5 sensor "stains" and "UFO" problem for the last time. Sony only took a few days to react and found a solution and commit for repair/upgrade and Pentax had only been able to provide a vague statement after a quarter or so, since it was first reported (and then complained endlessly by many new K-5 users thereafter)! :-o

So, the obvious difference is here and the marketing success or failure has already been defined, almost! I can bet if exactly the same 5N problem was happened to any Pentax camera, they would simply ignore it as it is somehow an "user error", frankly! ;-D How should the user shake the camera like that during video recording?!

Speaking back of Pentax and the K-5, when and how has the widely reported mirror jumping issue been responded by Pentax up till now? >:-[
