No one knows for sure. There's a ton of speculation.
The greatest likelihood is that it will be a 16x24mm sensor, just
like the current DSLR bodies, because that is what Pentax is
optimizing for with the DA lens series, and the 10Mpixel Sony sensor
that Nikon is using happens to be that size too. Since Pentax is
using Sony sensors to date, it makes some sense that they will
continue to do so with the next body ... also since their
collaboration with Samsung had to have gotten started well after the
development for this new body was moving along, and Samsung hasn't
built a large sensor with this kind of density yet.

Hey,
Whats the sensor size of yet to come 10mpixel Pentax DSLR?. Any
ideas. Is it going to be same APS-C size or larger. Mostly
interested to know because this help me select lenses today. All
excellent Pentax low dispersion - ED - lenses are coming for *istD
sensor size.
Info appreciated.
