Due its small pixels., that 14.2mp Sony sensor is no where near as large as say a KAF16803. (approx 22mm vs 38mm). Well depths are also lacking.
I'm also of the opinion Sony's lack of noise is artificial...Sony chips constantly bleed charge to achieve this.
I've yet to be shown how a thermally liberated electron can be distinguished from the photon liberated variety. At least with Kodak chips you get the option of deciding what to do about the signal + noise.
(..plus why oh why, do Sony only publish "relative" QE specs...or has that changed recently?)
Kodak going broke would be a very sad day for amateur CCD imaging.
