Finally, one of the guys mentions that the new flagship model (due in

REPLY:Very unlikely. I suspect it is Nikons system used
wholesale.Fact: The Nikon AF system (the sensor part) is identical to
Pentax and was developed by Pentax. Speculation: Theres a trade
between Nikon and Pentax. Nikon got Pentax AF sensors and Pentax got
Nikon USM lens drive system.In short, the new Pentax will use an
identical AF system to Nikons D200. Pål
