No, the 10MP Pentax will have an APS-C sensor (and I bet it'll be the one also used by D200). That's ~1.5 crop factor, I guess. Since Pentax keeps launching DA lenses, it would be illogical to expect a bigger sensor in the near future (2 years, at least). The 645D will have a 1.3x crop factor sensor iirc. -- Best regards, Alex Sarbu (dreaming at the 21mm...)
