New DX-format CMOS image sensor with 12.3 effective megapixels
The D300 features a new 12.3 effective megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor. It not only produces fine details with sharp resolution, but also provides a broad light sensitivity range of ISO 200 to ISO 3200, (plus LO 1 for IS0 100 equivalent and HI 1 for IS0 6400 equivalent settings; Auto ISO control is also available). The CMOS sensor's integrated A/D converter features the ability to select between 12-bit and 14-bit conversion, making it possible to shoot using high-quality 14-bit NEF (RAW) format. All internal processing is handled in full 16-bit color, color, benefiting from a fine balance between performance with outstanding speed that defies this level of precision and natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. Lateral chromatic aberration is also reduced.

Will pentax ever make a full frame 35mm digital camera body so I can use my old Kmount lenses properly?

I want to use my old 24mm and 85mm and 135 lenses to their full potential, but if I put them on a K10 etc, where the image sensor is smaller than 35mm then I only get the middle bit of the lens...

I wouldn't rule this out, Pentax got to pre-production stage with a medium format style DSLR in the mould of their 645AF camera, so the R&D is probably quite far on.

Pentax have launched a specification offensive and a price offensive with their K10d to universal plaudits, they may be keen to keep up with Canon and now Nikons professional models with a full sized sensor.

One thing to be aware of however is that the pentax film lenses were designed for film (which can absorb light and render it correctly from a wide range on angles) where as digital sensors really need the light to hit them straight on (via telecentric lenses) so even if your film lenses were to mechanically fit and and meter etc you may experience pretty bad vigneting and fringing.

It's all what if's a maybes. If you can't wait then look at Sigma or Tamrons superwide zooms.
