How does Nikon do it?

Thank for the additional info Wim... Do they "leak" or rather overflow to the nearest pixel? Because if these pixels have holes in their walls, then this is nothing but a sabotage of high quality tonal range by the manifacturer himself [Image: blink.gif]. And if it's an overflow, than I think the micro lenses must be able to take care of this issue... Am I asking too much from the manifacturers... it's just a special type of coating over the lens which gets light in but not out [Image: tongue.gif]...

It's tricky business. At that size, quantum effects start coming into play - photons will randomly decide to just jump into the next bin over, and of course the more there are, the more will do that. The bucket metaphor doesn't hold up to that level of strangeness.



And as for the special coating that lets light in but not out - I know of a lot of very powerful people who'd like to have such a thing.
