Quote:I think the issue is sort of kultural and deeply engrained with the Bayer sensors. They sort of do the same. A so-called 12 MP is (as most here know) 6 MP green and 3 MP in red and blue. To me this is a 6 MP sensor at best (luminance channel) and 3 MP in the colour channels.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.
Quote:The typical 3000 * 4000 pixel output of such a sensor is interpolated up.No, it is not at all. In the view finders there is no interpolation going on, no demosaicing. It is not at all comparable.
What they do in the finders is totally in line with the above cheat.
