Looks interesting, but I'd like to see some images taken with it.

The chips used in these cameras have been available for years in Point Grey cameras (Flea3 line of cameras for instance). So what's the big deal?

Is it the same chip in the Flea3?

There are several cameras all called "Flea3" with various different chips in them. All they share is the form factor and the name. If you create an account over at the Point Grey online store and log into it, then you can see prices too.

Thanks.
I did that, and can see various models with various CCDs, but not this one?

Sorry, the "Sensor description click here" (http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/cx_news/vol56/pdf/imx035lqr.pdf) link at the bottom of the page you linked to referred to the chip as the Sony IMX035, so I thought it was a Sony IMX035. I gather it's actually quite a different sort of Sony IMX035...oy vey. I gather Sony has many types of them and I'm obviously easily confused. Once again, sorry.
