To be 100% honest, the fact that Samsung is making the sensor for Pentax is likely to put me off Pentax, as my past experience of Samsung products has been that they are very poorly designed. Partnership is fine, but if the badge engineering position reverses (ie Pentaxs become rebadged Samsung, rather than the other way around) then I'd probably not buy one again. Which is a shame, as I do like Pentax a lot.
