I hope so but I still don't know how this could be achieved technically, the CCD appears to be the same off-the shelf unit as used in other bodies. And even if it were somehow tailored for Pentax in some manner (which I very much doubt given the Pentax claim of 13000 units per month) the noise will remain the same for the family/design. Granted the new 22bit ADC and processing may provide more natural and hence less offensive/noticeable noise but it will still be there (assuming RAW image capture, who knows what they have up their sleeve WRT in camera JPG NR). Blind faith is not something I'm good at apparently. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
