I would like to point out that that white paper is gray at best. Its purpose is not informational but promotional.
Another point is that if you do not have the tools to manufacture what you want to sell, you eventually produce the tooling to do it. Put another way, if you can not now produce the FF sensors in a one step process, that does not mean you will not be able to in a couple of years. And on your final comment below, I guess something the size of a MZ-S would be too big to carry (after all, Pentax has produced a FF prototype that size). For non-photographers any camera is too big and heavy to carry. Many a serious photographer hauls an 8x10 and all the paraphernalia around without a complaint. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- KEN TAKESHITA wrote: > My response in-line below. > > All I ask is that makers (particularly Pentax :-), maintain models > with APS sized sensors.
