Not sure - though dpreview says,
"The S2?s image sensor was developed especially for the S system by Kodak. 
With a resolution of 37.5 megapixels, the 30 x 45mm CCD sensor features an 
aspect ratio of 3:2 and an area nearly 60% larger than that of a traditional 
35mm camera, resulting in stunning image quality. In the interest of 
preserving image sharpness, the camera disregards the standard low-pass 
filter. Instead, Moir? effects are detected and eliminated by the camera's 
internal signal processing, thus taking full advantage of the system's 
high-resolution lenses. A special micro-lens pattern allows complete capture 
of angled light rays on the image periphery for optimal use of available 
light. With a sensitivity of up to ISO 1250, low-noise images can be 
captured under limited lighting conditions. "
