Because the Canon & Nikon APS-C cameras have been left in the Rear-View mirror.
What I don't understand is how did Pentax get the K-5 perform significantly higher than the A55, which shares the same sensor ?
Of course, there is still post-sensor signal processing and software-driven tweaking....Pentax engineers may have some additional mojo up their sleeves....or did Sony pay a significant downside for its semi-transparent mirror ?
