Well, as long as we're inventing things how about an in-camera "healing
brush". Since very large sensor chips are exhorbitively expensive why
not make up a large one from several smaller ones. four 4/3's chips
would make a full frame sensor except for the seams between them.
Precision machining would make sure the gap was very small and the
built-in healing brush would do the rest. 6x9 anyone?
