LOLS, it was noticed in Pentax forums, They even saw that the AF/MF switch is slightly different.

Not really. It has been noted that Sony sensors are very well-received by the industry for their accurate image capturing. Newer Nikon bodies are reputed to use Sony sensors, and sample images from a D300s and the newer entry-level bodies have proven Sony's reputation. So Pentax made a right decision to buy Sony sensors to step up the fight with the Canikon camp.

I was referring to samsung. Heheh.
Anyway, I like samsung rendition on low sensitivities than sony. only thing is that it becomes dirty on high side. 12 mp already has spoken performance, let's see how it does on 16 mp.
