current sensor density has already risen. the Nikon D2X has twice the pixel
density of the *istD and at least as good noise characteristics at the same
ISO. there is still a ways for Pentax to go. the *istD sensor density
already is beyond most consumer lenses ability to deliver information. so i
don't have to expect anything, it's already been done. it's whether Pentax
ever ships anything that uses it that is the question.

Pixel density is a chimera. Sensor size at the current density is a much
better solution. Much more expensive however. I'm much too tired and
lazy to do the math. You're still limited by the sensor. Which doesn't
invalidate my assertion. Unless you expect better results with in camera
processing to remove the noise.
