The diagram indicates that the lowest sensor is 2um deep, and since
there is less blooming than tradition CCD's - would this prove Olympus
wrong about using traditional lenses, in that the light rays do not
have to be as "parallel" for this sensor as it does for a CCD? They
indicate a pixel size of 9um. Sure seems to me that a digital SLR
taking traditional OM lenses would be possible with this technology.
