Sony does do a better job. Its a shame they are shutting down their CCD production in favour of CMOS production.

Can't say I'm overly impressed by the new sensor specs...though, have to admit, the ON Semi (Truesense) KAI-47051 is BIG!
...but...interline chips/ low well depth/14bit DA and/or high read noise doesn't seem very revolutionary to me.
I have two (not so cheap) Sony sensor cameras for solar work. The CMOS one looked good on paper, but the (previous model) Sony CCD is far superior.
I suspect the bean counters have already made the call, and for astro-imaging community, these new sensors may be akin to re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
