It is 1/1.8 sensor - at 10 MPix it will probably generate more noise

Aaron,
I'm saying that Pentax had profit problems with the PS line after
everybody got into the Optio S size cameras and decided to make a
strategic withdrawal. Having good sales, but loosing a little bit on
each camera is not a good idea. They turned the market over to
somebody with more
Is this fact or speculation? Pentax Canada experienced both their highest
profits and largest volume of sales in the company's history, fueled by their
profits on Optio sales. It's possible that Japan could sell to North America
at a loss, but it would be a really bad idea, especially since
Pentax USA may be just a reseller but it is a wholly owned subuiderary
of Pentax Japan. I don't know anything about the Japanese tax system
but it could be of some advantage to move profits overseas.

I am speculating based on public interview with the Pentax CEO last year.
That would be about the right time frame for unfolding this Samsung stuff now.

I doubt that it's an APS-C sensor. It's probably something they
developed strictly for the PS market. Impressive technology
nevertheless.

The PS market in general isn't particularly profitable. The margins are
getting very thin.
That said, it's nice to know Pentax Canada at least is doing well off
the PS market.
