The market is certainly an interesting one. Atik will certainly need to pitch their product carefully, but I agree with Rick in that those that want a big CCD will always buy one, they're not going to be swayed by a sub-$2k product.

If Atik is the first of the traditional players to deliver a CMOS to market at a slight premium they may open more of a market to themselves. After all, the industry has hardly been pumping th field full of new and interesting CCDs. The 16200 is probably the most interesting since the 674/694/814 Sonys, but the read noise is still on the high side.

Having come from a DSLR, the 1600 is a game changer.
