I wouldn't judge the new sensor by the system Kodak delivered 
two years ago. Nor should you compare 9 micron pixel sizes of 
an MF CCD with the approx 6.5 micron pixel sizes of the CMOS 
sensors from FillFactory, the old FF 14MP and the new "APS" 
9MP. There's quite a price difference too.
We have to wait and see. People have been happy with 6MP 
monochrome sensors:
