Rob,
The only truly succesful full-frame 35mm sensors have been Canon's.
Nobody else has been able to make a 24x36mm sensor which can match the
APS-C sensor's performance. So what sensor was Pentax going to use in
the MZ-D?
At the time it was a Philips CCD chip I believe, the one that was used in the
Contax N-Digital white elephant.

Which is my point. There wasn't anything Pentax could do to rescue the
MZ-D, so they ditched it and made the *istD.
Would I rather have seen the *istD in a MZ-S body? Sure. But I don't
think that was in the cards.
