As long as the sensors will be made out of silicon wafers the film sized sensors will be expensive. A 24*36mm piece of silicon will always be much more costly than the a 19*30mm. A quick calculation with the following assumptions: You seem to be assuming that a defect will render a sensor useless: it might, or it might not. If a defect takes out a whole line, then the sensor is toast, of course. But if a defect only spans a pixel or two, the sensor is still usable. Andrew. Yes you are correct. Any idea how many defective pixels are allowed by different manufacturers? And how do I recognize them in my camera? Paul |
