Just so that I am clear, are you saying that Sony CMOS sensors will not have a tiling issue and Kodak CCD sensors almost will not, or that Sony CMOS and Kodak CCD sensors almost will not?If you use anything else than a Dalsa sensor there are much less issues, practically non-existent. That is the Sony CMOS or the Kodak CCDs (almost) don't have this problem.
I only know that the Sony 33x44 sensor is a single tile but not really, it's tiled during the actual etching process like a jenga tower, so that it works seamlessly. I have done some crazy exposure pushes on my 645Z and never noticed any lines or exposure shifts, so if it does exist, Sony did a bang-up job on hiding it.torger,

Actually I'm not 100% sure so I'm deliberately a bit hazy on that point . The more recent Kodaks have more than one readout channel so mismatch can occur, but it's very well hidden. I assume that also the Kodaks and the Sonys are "stitched" in some way during manufacturing, however much leaving tiles virtually invisible unlike in Dalsa's manufacturing process.torger,

I don't think it's likely that color cast will disappear. As far as I understand one component in color cast is that the tiny R G B filters in front of each pixel changes response slightly depending on incoming light angle, and that issue won't disappear with BSI.Sounds like CMOS all but eliminates the issue then.
Hopefully BSI will in due course eliminate ripple/mazing/colour cast.
