So what is the light sensitivity gain from taking off the CFA? I notice in my UV RAW photos that the green channel is mostly garbage, yet with an RGGB array that's half of the photosites.

Interesting! So it's the monochrome modification (scraping off the Bayer array) that makes the sensor sensitive enough for motion video? I own a full range modified T3i/600D with a quartz lens and Baader U filter, but even in the full sun I have to choose between ridiculously high ISO or long shutter. The best photo I've taken so far was 1/30 ISO 800 on a tripod.

If I ever get rich I'll invest in a full frame camera, have it converted to full monochrome by you, and get one of those ridiculously expensive focus corrected quartz lenses. Hey, I can dream, right :P
