I'll bet anyone in this list a pint of Fiddler's Elbow that it will be a
CMOS in the Pentax DSLR.
Only a fool would take that bet! The lower cost of CMOS and the
ever-improving quality has made it almost universal, even in very high-end
DSLRs.
In that case I should be inundated with bets

There is a perception that Pentax can't design a
computer system in any of their cameras. The reality
is that, they can and they did. As for chip
fabrication, they don't have the means to do so, hence
they sometimes contract out the work to Casio or
Hitachi which happens to
A Pentax rep tech had told me that they will not treat
a CCD chip like some holy grail that some CCD chip
manufacturers like to portray themselves in the

Hi folks,
Above is true. In the current digital development, Pentax are putting more

Huh? I thought only Canon (well, and Foveon, if they count) currently had
CMOS sensors.

It seems that Casio has licensed some Pentax technology: the Casio RV is
a Optio RS sibling. They seem to have an strategic alliance. I don't

There's a Casio digital PS at Wally World that has a Pentax lens on
it. The camera seems to be fairly nice. Extremely short shutter lag...

Yes. The story of Casio and Pentax merging is just my guess only.
