I've been told (something that doesn't prevent it from being bull***, but anyway....) that Pentax have decided to use another chip in the MZ-D. Theres no reason to automatically assume that it will be a different camera and that it will use a chip smaller than 24x36. In fact, you can expect otherwise. Pentax choose not to use the Phillips chip because it was too expensive - in a short while other chip will exist that offer the same performance but at a significant lower price. I was told that digital Contax DON'T use the Phillips 6mpix chip that Pentax showed in their MZ-D prototype (can anyone confirm this?). Anyway, the bottom line is that there will be an MZ-D but with another chip that's probably full frame. Expect it within a year.
