Next step for Canon logically is BSI sensors and affordable Global Shutter CMOS sensors.

If this is indeed 1920x1080 pixels on a full frame, it still has to be bayered for it to read color. I'm sure the monochrome version of the sensor would have amazing sharpness compared to all other DSLR video.

The last test shot under a full moon was really impressive.

indeed. That last moon shot was something else. Almost looked like daytime.
