No, I believe that you have it backwards. Sensor manufacturers are constantly looking to make whatever they make some products bigger and better and existing products cheaper (economies of scale, if nothing else). Camera manufacturers look at what is coming "down the pike" in sensor design, select them and design around their components. Then the marketing people are charged with fanning the flames of consumer desire. If there is anything we learned from Steve Jobs and his groundbreaking products it is that the public doesn't have any idea what it wants, until *after* they see it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
