Hi Shel,
With the greatest of respect, in the area of
making imaging sensors for DSLRs, Samsung has a
reputation of ZERO. Samsung has never
manufactured an APS size sensor.
It has taken all the other sensor manufacturers
several years of development to reach their
current levels of quality. Has Pentax really got
the time to wait for Samsung to come up to speed?
Samsung's current reputation has been earned by
making low end, low cost consumer items such as
microwave ovens and cellphones. In digital
photography, it remains to be seen whether
Samsung can move beyond the cheap, high noise
image sensors it already makes into the high
quality DSLR market, in which the company has
absolutely no track record.
