I saw an article on page 68 of the January 2004 issue of the trade magazine
Photonics Spectra: "Eastman Kodak Co., Image Sensor Solutions, 22 million pixel
full-frame CCD Image Sensor". I don't think this chip is newly released, and
the latest datasheet is dated July 2003. The following is partly from the
article, partly from the datasheet.
The KAF-22000CE sensor has a 36 by 48 mm sensitive area, which has twice the
area of a 35mm image. The pixels are 9 microns square, in a 4080 by 5440
array. The chip package is something like 2 by 2.5 inches overall dimensions.
The linear dynamic range is 73 db, or 12.1 bits. (Divide dynamic range by 6
to get number of bits or stops.) It takes 2.56 seconds to read an image out.
There are no per-pixel lenses, so the incident angle of light on CCD surface is
essentially unconstrained; the article says that the chip "produces stable
color at incident angles up to 50 degrees".
The article says that the sensor is aimed at the medium-format camera market.
