That's certainly a lot. Still, the price doesn't necessarily say much
about what Dalsa's cost per unit was, or (perhaps more interesting) what
it cost them to make one extra once the production equipment was
up-and-running.
cost goes up faster than area.
Yes. Everyone knows that. However, given the current cost of 1/2-inch
sensors - which I'm not sure about either, but based on all those
mini/"credit card-size" cameras that keep popping up, I'm assuming it's
rather low by now - it can go up *a lot* faster, and still make
relatively affordable large sensor. If you know what I mean...

I don't know prices of the sensor component, but they are expensive.
Several hundred dollars at the OEM pricing level. Translate times
7-10 for retail after manufacture.
