The last thing that I found said that the sensor in the Pentax *ist D and Nikon D100 cost about $700 each in quantity.
Well that's what they'd like you to think, makes the bitter pill more palatable if there is some other entity to blame.
I don't know about the CCD being used in the *ist and D100, but the 6-megapixel *full-frame* CCD used in the Contax (and the abandoned MZ-S Digital) was $1000 in quantity. I doubt the APS-sized CCD is half that.
