Well, it seems that Popphoto and DPR went to the same press conference and shot the same targets.. Nevertheless, the Pop Photo samples indicate that the Firmware of the K-50 camera is in Version 1.0.

3. @ Pentax Japan (Small Size):-

Go inspect if you're interested. But my bet is that those samples will give you no excitement and surprise of any, as the same sensor and image processor have been used over and over again for long by Pentax. So, for most of us, we actually knew that what would happen! >:-(

it is not the same sensor as in the k30 it is a modify version of it. is not the same sensor in the k5 or the k5II because the k30 and k5 sensor and the k5ii where based on a differ chip design they might be similar but they have different specs one handles 14bit raw and the other only has 12bit raw this spec is directly created by the sensor not the image engine...

The K-01, K-30 and K-50 all use the same Sony 16MP sensor with the Prime M processor. This sensor is slightly different from the one used in the K-5/K-5II/s which are all equipped with a Prime II processor.
