I expect it to use the *same* sensor as the ist-D: Buying one sensor in larger volume just makes sense, especially since the other camera that currently uses it (the Nikon d100) is being discontinued soon. No one is going to put an SD card in a DSLR when everything else uses CF cards. Especially since it would discourage current ist-D owners from adding a second body. They're going to want to re-use as much of the R&D, hardware, software and manufacturing technology form the ist-D production line as possible. You can bet the bank on it using CF cards and probably on it using the same sensor. It would just add expense and reduce the desirability of the end product to change either of those things. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
