I would love to see a mono version of the 294 as it actually has about 1um sub pixels rather than the 4.63um RGGB “pixel” that is captured. Basically the un debayered output is 2x2 binned pixels of each colour which combine into a single RGGB pixel that size wise is effectively 4x4 binned on the native size of the pixels.
So essentially if I end up over-sampling with the 183, all I'm really doing is getting the same(ish) amount of detail I'd get from the 1600, but it's just taking me a hell of a lot longer to get there due to the smaller pixel size?
