In regard to these new IMX455 based cameras, if you already owned a full frame camera using the older Kodak CCD sensors, will you see any improvement?

Why bother paying $5-6K for a new camera that outputs exactly the same images that you can produce with the Kodak sensor.

In my mind the new IMX455 CMOS cameras should provide an excellent image in 2 hours compared to what you could get in 10 hours with the Kodak sensor. Or the IMX455 based camera can pull in faint distant galaxies that would be swamped by read noise on the Kodak based camera.

Otherwise I can't see the point of spending that amount of money, if you are just starting out with no frame of reference then that's different, go for it.

Here are some sample images taken with the IMX455 cameras, they don't look any better than what I have seen with Kodak sensors.
