Posts: 648 | Sony A900 FF.. First Sony A900 Ad Leaked - UPDATED - Now with REAL SPECS Photography Bay | Digital Camera Reviews, News and Resources haven't read a thing about it and now all of a sudden ads pop up and a release date of sept 10th. Looks interesting. Hmm, if sony has a FF camera, sensor, is pentax going to use the same sensor? |

| Pentaxian | I think the Sony FF model has been expected for a while. They even released an updated Zeiss 24-70 f/2.8 at the end of last year. I don't think we can make any inference that Pentax FF is on the way, and the Sony sensor connection desn't indicate much either--for one thing, latest 14mp Pentax sensors were Samsung-sourced, rather than Sony. Nikon's full-frame sensors also may be different than what Sony will include in the A900. |

Posts: 207 | Given Sonys relationship with Nikon,and the reason that Pentax needed Samsung to make their K20 chip, and Sony's rivalry with Samsung ... I doubt that we'll soon see a Pentax-Sony strategic partnership. There'd have to be something potentially very lucrative to make that happen. Certainly the niche 3rd player FF market isn't it. I wouldn't rule it out - it just seems unlikely to me. |
