In the semiconductor industry, the cost of a chip is directly related to the size of the chip, so full (35mm) frame sensors will always be expensive. This implies that we can't expect a full frame SLR from PENTAX ? George - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
