A 60 Mpix Bayer sensor has 15 Megapixels in the red channel and 15 in the blue. The Merrill already has these (in round figures).

The 60 Mpix Bayer wins only in the green, where it has 30 million pixels.

If Sigma can manage a sensor with the same pixel pitch as the Merrill and twice the area, it will have nearly 30 in all three channels. I don't think a "double Merrill" is impossible.

The problems are the dynamic range and the processing times. A heat sink, as used in the fp, solves the overheating problem (which led to the strange shape of the dp_Q cameras).
