The sensor is getting "old" now but still stands up very well which is no doubt why they`ve not bothered changing it, I`m glad they left the weak (sharp) AA filter on from the NX200 and didn`t mess with it .... one thing the Pentax K01 had was an excellent sensor so your comparison is praise indeed ...

I tried an NX5 body I got cheap last year and found it a wholly miserable camera with very poor LCD and EVF, slow and occasionally flaky AF and the output from the sensor didn`t seem as good as I remember the Pentax K20 to be and I was running better glass on the NX5 (the 20-50 and 30mm). .. Just shows where the big jump was (the NX200, fast accurate AF and 20Mp sensor launch)

Yes, that is why I never bothered changing my NX200, because I find the RAW files to be among the best I have seen and still see. IMO superior to all the Sony NEX camera series. The big jump came in NX200.

Scroll down to Sharpness. They say its sharpness is remarkable. Its like there is no AA filter in there.

Latest incarnations of that 20 mp sensor (in NX300 onwards) only improves on the ISO.

I look forward to whether/if Samsung will unveil a much bigger sensor. Long overdue...

Samsung is really SLOW in camera development.
