I'd be quite happy to see the 12MP Sony CMOS sensor. What I've seen from the A700 (Which I've had a chance to use, Sony did a good job this time) indicates that noise performance is a fair bit better than the 10MP CCD Sony sensor that's in the K10D. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
