If it is a fact that the D100 uses a different sensor than the *ist D, it does not mean Sony developed in any special way for Pentax. Now, did you ever take geometry in school? Did your instructor tell you to prove a theorem true? Did you respond by telling him to prove it wasn't true instead?

I don't have to, because I'm not making any claims. You have the burden of proof for substantiating the existence of something that you claim to be true. There is no such thing as proving that something doesn't exist. Existence can be proven, and it is done so by the presentation of material f

Whether or not the Pentax uses the same chip as the Nikon D100 is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not the chip is special to Pentax. Not only have you shown no proof, you have shown no evidence that Sony is developing a special sensor for Pentax. BR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As I'm sure
