BTW: Pentax is rumored to be working on exactly this kind of

the rumors myself.
For me it would be enough if Pentax used the same 10 MPix APS-C
sensor as the one in Nikon D200, especially that it is rumoured as
being of Sony production...
With Sony buying the remains of Minolta, I am very glad Pentax got
into bed with Samsung when they did. Nikon must be feeling a little
exposed right now.

Nikon's got enough volume that they don't need to worry too much,
somebody will always be willing to sell sensors t them. Pentax doesn't.

How many manufacturers of suitable high quality optical sensors are
there? They don't exactly grow on trees. I suspect that Nikon are camped
out at Rochester right now, cap in hand.
