It is a studio camera so far, not a portable
SLR replacing conventional SLRs.

Great tool, have seen results in cologne.
Smashing. But not implemented yet in any

They are not making it and frankly I think
it will never make it to the market.

It would be wrong. If it is for absolute quality
there is no way around CCDs, but there is also no
way around bulky equipment and active cooling.

For astronomic applications there are still
worlds between CMOS and CCD.

No, price is the only reason. CMOS is good enough
(stunningly good, that is), but no match for cooled
CCDs.

Will all said before, I think so too.
