(K3) Samsung new sensor spotted?
Click on the picture above to see the new sensor specifications.
One of our readers (“Young”) just spotted a new sensor on the official Samsung website (The link has been removed now).
Brief sensor description:
What’s new? -> 14.2mp, A/D Converter on-chip, 8 output channels, 10fps and 1080 video support. The K20D/GX20/K7 sensor has 14.6mp, no A/D converter on-chip, only 4 channels, 3fps and support just 720 video!
P.S.: The link doesn’t work anymore:

3 years ago |Why I find Samsung is always a little bit late of pushing out the good stuff？ NX10 has lost her golden time already. If I were Samsung, I may postpone NX10 again for using this better sensor rather than using the 14.6 mp CMOS for now. Sony just shades her away with little effort. Sigh…..

3 years ago |Havind ADC on chip is good to reduce noise – the later you digitize the signal, the more chances noise has to creep in.
Surfing the web a bit one can get some background information on the mentioned pseudo-multisample for example. Very interesting.
For those hoping that Pentax won’t be using Samsung sensors in the future I’d like to point out that for example Sony sensors weren’t that good in the past, yet now they’re quite good (the PGA could be better thouigh – not near the Canon level; even Samsung has a better one) – why let the past dictate the future choices?
This new Samsung sensor is the first second generation Samsung APS-C CMOS – K20D, K7 and NX10 all have basicly the same sensor, just slightly modified for more speed at the expense of signal/noise-ratio. I don’t want to condemn a new architechture for the flaws of it’s predecessors.
