It got a wow out of me but then they don't say what the price is, and
they don't say it's going in a Sony camera either. I don't think
Sony, Minolta, Pentax or Olympus have ever sold anything like a
$7,000 pro camera and I'm not sure they would be able to sell such a
thing.

The sensor is destined for the Nikon D3X and a high end Sony model.

It is unlikely to find its way into a Pentax DSLR as almost all
current Pentax lenses are designed for the DA (APS-C) format sensor.

They have just managed to put a 14.2 megapixel sensor into a £499
camera. The premium over 10.2 megapixels is only £100 (also only $100
apparently).

But that's not full frame.


Exactly .. and it isn't 24.5 MP with a lot of new technology either.
