Constantine,

I didn't expect it was a Kodak sensor.  The spec for the SS4k+ specifically
SAYS it's a 4k sensor...(actually it says it's 12k, but tri-linear, which
makes it 4k).  What is the actual part number of the sensor?

BTW, get your marketing/spec wonks to understand what the heck a "pixel" is
and how it differs from a "sensor element" (sensel?) ;-)
