We know that Phase IQ180 80 MP back is about 2 million dollars, or $50,000.
Who cares, it may as well be $2 millions.

That doesn't make the S2 sound inexpensive though, but the Sigma (yes Sigma)
SD-1 does:

$9700 for a APS-C sized sensor....

Lets see, Pentax 645D is ~$10,000

Leica S2 is $22,000

I guess SD-1 stands for *S*ol*D-1
