The Quattro sensors confuse me... I can see the technical reasons for doing so, but still it seems like a step back to bayer pattern in terms of worse case resolution. Consider a 2x2 block of final output pixels. Tradition bayer would compose that from 1 red, 2 green, 1 blue samples. Quattro would compose that from 1 red, 1 green, 4 blue samples. So worst case e.g. for red in both cases, would still be 1/4 the area resolution. At least bayer is modelled on human vision with emphasis on green. Quattro seems more like convenient physics, with blue on the top stack, and also the short wavelength is more resistant to diffraction. As such I think a Merrill era sensor would be more fun to play with.

Oh, back to the earlier point about possible adapters for the new body, I always thought the best case scenario would be to have a Foveon sensor with some universal mount (via adapter) so you can play with the sensor with any lens you like. Unfortunately this new body doesn't satisfy me in either respect.
