Pentax was pretty much forced into it. The Sony 12MP CMOS sensor was not yet available to Pentax for the K20D, so Samsung was the only option to get something better than the old 10MP CCD in the K10D. With the K-7 Pentax was primarily updating the body so they stuck with the known sensor with a few tweaks. -Adam -- 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.
