Is that a good sensor? How has it been behaving itself in the Nikon?
It might be nice if there were a Samsung version, perhaps leaving the
Pentax to have more bells and whistle and the Samsung being a bit more
basic.
If you are interested, dpreveiw has a full review of the 200D
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond200/
He stupidly compares the noise characteristics against the Canon 5D
(full sensor, less "pixel-packing"; the D200 is an APS sensor so the
pixels are packed tighter) so the noise at 1600 and 3200 looks higher.
Still it isn't bad. There have been reported "banding" issues but
apparently Nikon has fixed that and it may have been a software/firmware
deal and not an inherent problem in the sensor.
My guess is that the new D-whatever from Pentax will be a great camera
in as much as the original was. Image stabilization? Full k-mount
computability? Who cares really. I'm more interested in frame rate and
buffer size. Can I rattle off 23 RAW frames at 5 FPS? :-)
