Why is this? Do you mean that the camera needs some extra info from the
sides to correctly interpolate the missing color information also the the
pixels at the border? I do not know how many pixels they use for the
interpolation algorithms, but I doubd it would be more than just a couple
rows of pixels. (If you know better, please correct me...)
If that's the case, then it would only need to be few pixels larger than
35mm frame. And if those extra pixels are just outside the normal 35mm, it
probably doesn't have a huge impact on the image at the borders anyways.
And of course, for the Faveon X3, this is moot point as it should not need
interpolation anyways.

Hugo.
Ps. Canon, just get the X3 for EOS-D3! Untill then, I'll stick with film.
(But actually only because of the performance+features/price of current
digital EOS cameras)
