It is about 0% difficult to re-arrange pixel arrays without innovation. However, the same amount of effort must go into the test and characterization. A good comparison is wet printing 2 negatives from the same roll.... they can print almost 100% the same... with some minor tweaks.... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net I was just referring that to rearrange a particular sensor technology, i.e. the S2 sensor and put it in a different dimensions does not require "too much" work. It's a matter of rearranging the pixels and hooking the support circuitry in different places. My guess is that sensors are implemented as grids, e.g. may be a "pack" of X*Y pixels and the readout circuitry for the pack. So it should be a matter of rearranging the packs.
