Thanks for that link. Remember that a 2x improvement in efficiency is equivalent to 1 stop. If they strap this sensor into a camera with a less efficient lens, the system may only reach parity with an older sensor with a more efficient lens. It will be interesting to see how Sony uses the technology.
