I think they needed to hit the 36MP mark so that APS-C crop mode would give them a good number of MPs. With all of the existing APS-C users who will be moving over to the K-1 that was a very important consideration.
The sensor is cut from the same wafer as the Nikon D810, but that doesn't mean it has the same micro lenses or color array. Ricoh says they made their own substrate for the sensor. What that means is beyond my limited knowledge of sensor production so it may just be marketing. It appear Ricoh has a very custom version of the D810 sensor.
“It’s not possible to achieve high sensitivity simply by reducing sensor noise, because the circuit configuration of the substrate to which the sensor is mounted greatly affects the type of generated noise. That’s why we designed an original substrate for the PENTAX K-1 by making the best use of our know-how.” |

Can you be more specific concerning white balance? I know you are talking about the JPEG output, but how is it different than Nikon?
