Thanks
to Niklas on our Sony Talk forum for noting Sony's new ICX413AQ six megapixel
3:2 ratio APS sized CCD. After some digging I managed to confirm this
chip either is or soon will be in production. The chip is APS sized and
has a pixel cell size of 7.8µm x 7.8µm, it is an interline
frame readout chip and requires a mechanical shutter, thus it is designed
for D-SLR's. Interestingly it's capable of capturing at 3 fps in single
channel mode and 5 fps in dual channel mode. This sensor is ideally sized
and specified to be used in a 35 mm SLR bodied D-SLR (it would produce
a 1.5x focal length multiplier).
