Probably not. I suppose what they are saying is, that they will put in the best sensor available (best in regard to the number of pixels) at any time. The hardware/firmware will allow this - and is not restricted to a certain size of the sensor. I doubt that Pentax will offer such upgrades to customers, who own earlier models. But if they did - it would be a sensation. Giving us back one of the advantages of film.
Perhaps camera manufacturers will some day even make user changeable sensors - so we could all have three lenses, three viewfinders and three sensors in the camera bag??!! Dust cleaning might be easier - and more often necessary.

I think the rough translation is that; they think it's a great idea, it's in the labs but it's no where near being an actual product in the near future. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
