Future Camera Idea Krontech: Chronos 2K but using a 2/3 sensor for lower cost

Just an idea. Some of us like the smaller 2/3 sensor form factor as we can use modern sharp 0.95 and 1.2 lenses (Laowa Argus, Meike and Nokton) at their wider aperture receiving more light into the sensor while keeping a greater depth of field for easier focusing compared to larger sensors. And I'm guessing by using a smaller sensor and some other cost cutting measures (ie. cutting the maximum record time to 3 seconds which would require less RAM), the camera can be more affordable. Looks like GPixel has a 2/3 2K sensor (see below). Just a thought. Was thinking this can maybe be around $5000-6500 as the lowest affordable option for Krontech. At this price point, I think more people would buy.
https://image-sensors-world.blogspot.com/2022/08/gpixel-announces-new-global-shutter.html
Some key specs:
"GSPRINT4502 is a 2.5 Megapixel (2048 x 1216), 2/3” (φ10.7 mm), high speed image sensor designed with the latest 4.5 µm charge domain global shutter pixel. It achieves more than 30 ke- charge capacity and less than 4 e- rms read noise, with dynamic range of 68 dB which can be expanded using a multi-slope HDR feature. Utilizing an advanced 65 nm CIS process with light pipe and micro lens technology, the sensor achieves >65% quantum efficiency and < -92 dB parasitic light sensitivity.
GSPRINT4502 can achieve extremely high frame rates up to 3460 fps in 8-bit mode, 1780 fps in 10-bit mode or 850 fps in 12-bit mode, all at full resolution. With 2×2 on-chip charge binning, full well capacity can be further increased to 120 ke- and frame rate to 10,200 fps. GSPRINT4502 supports vertical and horizontal regions of interest for higher frame rates. GSPRINT4502 is perfect for high-speed applications including 3D laser profiling, industrial inspection, high speed video and motion analysis."

They can name the camera the "Chronos 2.5" based on the GSPRINT4502 data throughput.
