Interesting that the have the chip, but no product line to sell it as the DCS
Pro-Back group has been disbanded. Perhaps they're retreating to the OEM
market?

>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.
