Hi Colin, I don't think Samsung's lack of expertise with sensors matters. They'll pick up. Plenty of companies with no reputation have built a bad reputation and then a good one. No reason to believe that Samsung is doomed.
The question IMO is can Sansung/Pentax sell enough cameras with cheap, noisy sensors to develop and sustain a line with non-noisy sensors.
