Pentax buys their sensors from Sony, iirc. Sony has just announced, or released, a new camera, the DSC-R1, which uses a Sony-made, 10mp CMOS sensor with the dimensions of 14mm x 21mm. The camera has a retail price of $1,000.00. Seems like Pentax might do well to take advantage of this sensor if they can, and if Sony's putting out a camera for $1,000.00 it seems that the sensor price might be reasonable enough for Pentax to come out with a very competitively priced camera. Any comments on this?
Even more of a crop factor. No thanks. William Robb
