I found the data sheets for both of the sensors in question, which give some seemingly interesting numbers. I say seemingly because I don't even know the metric, let alone what the numbers mean, but I can only assume bigger is better:

Sony IX205AL (314e mono):

[INDENT]

Sensitivity:
Symbol: S
Min: 360
Typ: 450
Unit: mV
Saturation signal:

Symbol: Vsat
Min: 450
Unit: mV
Dark signal:

Max: 16
Unit: mV
Dark signal shading:

Max: 4
Unit: mV

Sony ICX285AL (314L OSC):

http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/d.../E00Y42B3Z.pdf
[INDENT][INDENT]
Sensitivity 1:
Symbol: S1
Min: 1040
Typ: 1300
Unit: mV

Sensitivity 2:
Symbol: S2
Min: N/A
Typ: 4000
Unit: mV
Saturation signal:

Symbol: Vsat
Min: 850
Unit: mV
Dark signal:

Max: 11
Unit: mV
Dark signal shading:

Max: 4
Unit: mV
The OSC has a more rounded spectral sensitivity curve as well. Assuming I'm correct in that bigger is better, it looks like the OSC is waaaay more sensitive.
