I will be surprised if Pentax goes to a FF sensor any time soon. It just doesn't make sense economically or in light of the lens lineup. However, I think we'll eventually see APS-C cameras at around 18 megapixels with good low-noise capability. It wasn't that long ago that people were saying 12 megapixels was impossible on that small a sensor. In the end, size may not matter as much as some think. > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
