26mp BSI Sony sensor is almost certainly the same as the Fuji 26mp Sony BSI sensor.
But of course the Fuji has its own proprietary colour matrix (not Bayer its a 6 x 6 grid with more emphasis on the green). Plus there are threads now showing Fuji like Sony engage in filtering their RAW data resulting in some green faint stars.
Also not 16 bit (14bit) and not cooled.
Same with a Sony A7riv its the same BSI full frame 61mp sensor but of course with a Bayer colour matrix and not cooled plus some RAW filtering.
These ASI and QHY cameras are getting results way past what you could get with the mirrorless cameras using the same sensor.
ASI2600MC sounds great but I would've personally wanted the mono. Also I find the specs listed by ZWO misleading. Saying 84% QE for the ASI2600MC is a lie as that would be the QE for the mono version not the colour. Probably more like 60% or so (QE's for popular cameras are listed somewhere - it may be Christian Buil's site, 65% is about as high as they go) much like CCDs except mono CCDs utilise every pixel and are best for narrowband. One shot colour is fun but its way slower and dim areas suffer noise plus weaker at narrowband which is where these cameras excel.
Not trying to be a downer but its better to go into it with eyes wide open.
