I meant that history has shown that Pentax uses the same sensor as someone else.
In this case it could be a year (give or take) after someone else, depending on which sensor we're talking about... but no sensor is 'new'.
But even that is not necessarily true. At some point - and you know it very well - they used a Samsung sensor.
In other words, the history has shown Pentax can either use a sensor one year later that their competitors, a sensor simultaneously with their competitors, or a different sensor.
However, for the next K-mount cameras I doubt they'll use a different sensor.
