From the Photo, the coating looks identical to the SMC-D
Stock agencies are quite happy with images from 6 megapixel cameras
that have been upsized to the stock house's normal size requirement,
which is generally about 50 megabytes. If you upsize a RAW when
converting, the results are very good.

What you suggest is upsizing the image to meet the spec, but that doesn't
provide results quite as nice as having a sensor which can actually create
a file that large at its native resolut

Interesting.
You know, I only care about Pentax because that's the mount of the
lenses I have. As long as the lenses are good, and relatively
state-of-the-art bodies are introduced that will take those lenses, I
couldn't care less what name is in them.
