  2. If optical format of 5M (Hi-542) is 1/5 inch, i think pixel size is 1.1um. If pixel size is 1.4um, 5M optical format is 1/4 inch.

  3. I'm not sure I'd be proud of those images. They're very overexposed and much details are saturated. All they say is the imager can image color (no surprise) and either the AE or full well capacity isn't what it should be.

    That said, making a 1.1um pixel isn't easy. Still, there's lots of big competition around that have shown much nicer images.
