Following the recent announcement of the 120MP sensor, Canon now has something for the LF crowd. http://www.canonrumors.com/
This 202 x 205 mm sensor is at the limits of what can be cut from a 12 inch wafer. At the density of the 1Ds3, this would result in around 850MP.
No MSRP listed.

"Because the increased size of the new CMOS sensor allows more light to be gathered, it enables shooting in low-light environments. The sensor makes possible the image capture in one one-hundredth the amount of light required by a 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor, facilitating the shooting of 60 frame-per-second video with a mere 0.3 lux of illumination.
Potential applications for the new high-sensitivity CMOS sensor include the video recording of stars in the night sky and nocturnal animal behavior."
Or, shooting a concert at 100iso, 1/1000th-sec. @ f16, and realizing later you forgot to take off your polarizer. (no, I didn't calculate this, I'm just spitballing...)
That's ten times the size of my 5d! I can't even imagine if you put this on Richjie V's pano set up what size file it would end up with and is there even a computer that could store it.

That sensor looks like a perfect fit for the back of my 4x5 camera. Maybe I should hold on to it for a while....

Handling those file types will require the new Light Peak standard that Intel is introducing in January.
