This is Pentax's problem at the moment I think. They tried the twist of full frame and that didn't work out for one reason or another. In addition, or possibly because of that, they missed the boat of Foveon - whether it founders against an Iceberg or not we don't know at this stage. I am not sure what new twist Pentax could really come up with - maybe this is why they are taking so long trying to come up with something saleable. Lets hope they find something...
