As long as the megapixels arent too great, say 24MP, I dont know why a larger sensor is more expensive to make, it should be cheaper than a small one intuitively. limiting the resolution would keep cost down while still allowing for many advantages of larger format sensor. Another cool camera

It's not the sensel density, it's the chip size. The larger the chip, the fewer that you can fit onto standardized silicon wafers. Since the defect rate is fairly constant across a wafer, having larger chips means that you have fewer chips per wafer, and with the defect rate, a smaller
