Actually, I think they say: We'll start with a model with the KAF18000 sensor. If money & market permit, a model with the KAF31600 sensor will follow shortly. Note that these two sensors have the same physical dimensions. If size were not a problem, Pentax could claim to go up to 39Mp in the near future (with the larger KAF39000), and they didn't...

But I seriously doubt that they used it to make the sensor exchangeable... -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
