No this is full frame. Its not a very big chip, its only 5.59x4.68mm.

Nice shot really, extreme close up!

Yes it is a colour cam, I know nothing of debayering, will have a look at the link you provided, thanks.

Thanks very much.

I'll have ago at debayering and repost the image.

Thanks again all for the kind comments.
