Hi Richard,

Although these two new CMOS sensors have higher QE than ICX694/ICX814 (CCD), but I think pixel size (3.45 micron), limited dynamic range (due to 12bit ADU and small pixels) and in particular sensor size (11.1 mm diagonal) are altogether too limiting for many amateur astrophotographers.

However, if these sensors are cheap, then maybe some manufacturers will implement them in their 'budget' astro-cameras?
