It looks like Sony is getting ready to have a new aps-c sensor. The rumors has that it will be 20 mp. I am wondering if not having this new sensor available now is one reason we didn't see the K-3 from Pentax and why Nikon didn't show the D7000 or D300s replacements at CP+. I still expect a new high end aps-c from Pentax some time this year.

When previous Sony sensors have hit the market, Pentax have apparently not been allowed to use them for a certain period (I think 6 months, although I could be wrong). The pecking order has been 1. Sony (of course), 2.Nikon, 3.Pentax. I wonder if something similar will apply in this case - always assuming the rumor is true of course.
