When combined with this sensor. But what about other sensors? Like the 18MP Kodak one? I don't see any reason why the 645D won't use the already developed 22bit ADC (and the image processor as well). -- Best regards, Alex Sarbu -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
