The acid test will be images as good as or better than what existing astro CCDs cameras are providing. If they can't at least match these then it may end up being a 2nd tier type camera. If they can better existing then it will force people to switch over time.
I agree about the access to high end engineering when mono versions of these sophisticated mirrorless camera sensors are available. Especially if they can get some Sony Exmor R type sensors which are the cutting edge.
Sony seems to be several generations ahead of virtually everyone except Samsung who unfortunately decided to leave the mirrorless camera market despite their last model being a technical tour de force. Maybe some Samsung sensors. 28mp APSc sized BSI CMOS. Also cutting edge.
