X20 Sensor, This is News

Ratty,

Yes this is the first time I heard about the BSI implementation.  I do not believe the original X10 sensor was BSI.

The new sensor should deliver better low light performance, and better image quality overall, but I have yet to see any sample shots from the X20.

Have you seen any?

Last year I showed my X10 to a co-worker but I could not recommend it to him because of the sensor issues.  Hopefully these issues are now a thing of the past with the new X-trans BSI sensor, but the sample shots should tell the tale.

I know the X-trans sensor on my X-E1 is delivering some excellent image quality for me.  A workable X-20 implementation would really be something better, in terms of portability and ease of use, even if image quality might not quite measure up to the X-E1.  Hopefully in daylight conditions at low ISO it will be hard to tell the two of them apart.  Now that is something to hope for!

Also, I wonder if a larger BSI sensor has ever been made by anyone.  Do you know the answer to this?
