Quote:That of course is not true. All channels contain luminance information to the same extent. You get pretty close to 12MP in detail. And in colour, you do not go down to 3MP either. Pixels do not get binned! You have a too simplistic view of how the data is extrated from the recorded values.
No, it is not at all. In the view finders there is no interpolation going on, no demosaicing. It is not at all comparable.
Bad investment for those 2 cents, there
I suggest you consult your books in mathematics and theoretical physics. Please (re-)read the chapter explaining degrees of freedom.
