Originally posted by Zygonyx Si, now that it is widely suspected the K-1 sensor will be 36 Mpix, but with which CPU ?
The sequence is: filter(s) (if fitted), lens, sensor, CPU/
algorithm, storage. The sensor is nothing without the CPU and the CPU is nothing without its programming, but a slow, clunky program is going to affect the processing/write speed and create frame rate issues. That won't matter for single, deliberate shots, but even the most amateurish amateur is sometimes going to need burst mode or fast single follow-ups. There is a need to process a large image fast. We know Pentax can build a successful camera that will process a 51MP digital image. That may answer your question, but only time will tell.
