I believe it's the same sensor but a different processing engine.
i'm mostly content to wait until people actually shoot with it to see whether it's "better"; but as to whether the sensor is different, i see many casual comments that assume it's the same or an update of the same, but there is one reviewer who was given pre-release version that explicitly says it's a new sensor, and also the stated size of the sensor is different:
K-5 23.4 x 15.6mm K-01 23.7 x 15.7mm (both specs from dpreview; the effective pixel count is the same) -- 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.
