Excuse the late interest in this thread, I haven't been on here for ages.

This thread is indeed an epic, but I am unclear of the conclusions as this goes off topic in the 11 pages.

Can someone correct my understanding below and/or provide a management type summary (i.e. aimed at 4 year olds)?

1) A 1000d has had the bayer matrix + micro lenses ground off. The sensor works but the quality is poor due to uneveness of the sensor?

2) Gina performed a heroic quest to debayer a 1100d, but was unable due to the differences in construction, expecially the fixed glass plate.

If point 1 is true then has anyone considered using a transparent gel (ideally non electrically conductive) under a glass plate over the sensor to 'fill' the scratches? Perhaps optical cement will do it? (Aplologies if this has been suggested but I didn't see it)

I am close to getting a CCD but wondering if the 'spare' 1000d can get a new lease of life?

cheers
