ogl, sorry but I don't get your point. Who cares about Samsung? Who cares that it's not a problem for them if the NX is an APS-C only mount, if the NX500 sensor doesn't meet the current quality standards?
This is about Pentax: it would be a problem if they'd use the NX500 sensor (which is at about the K-3's level). So a new, improved Samsung sensor would be required.
OTOH the Samsung rumor might've been false after all.

A new camera based on sensor and processor from Samsung would get improve detail, dynamic range, color depth, and noise over the K-3ii from the start - then they could integrate the 'accelerator' and do even better.
Are you sure the KP isn't using an improved sensor, besides the accelerator?
The K-3II makes for a poor baseline. A Sony sensor plus the accelerator might be a much better solution, unless Samsung would come up with an improved sensor.
