But the A550 and A500 perform nearly identically from everything I've seen and the A500 uses the K-X sensor, so I'd expect the A550 sensor to perform similarly to the K-X sensor when matched with Pentax's processing chain. The K-X's advantage over the A550 is primarily because Sony still hasn't figured out NR in the processing engine. -Adam -- M.
