Most of them would just show black background and the AVI size would be much bigger.

You can do that, but in the case of this IMX sensor - it has relatively small diagonal full of very small (color) pixels.

Much better would be something with bigger pixels in a bigger diagonal like those: http://www.cmosis.com/products/stand...oducts/cmv4000 or http://www.e2v.com/news/e2v-launches...aging-sensors/
