Very interesting... Now, when they say a digicam is 6 megapixel, do they mean 6 million blue-green-green-red pixels (24 million sensor pixels), or do they mean 1.5 million blue-green-green-red pixels (6 million sensor pixels)?
Now, on the Foveon, when they say 3 megapixels, do they mean 3 million, equivalent, blue-green-red pixels, or 1 million, equivalent, blue-green-red pixels? And, what about the reduced green sensitivity of the Foveon sensor compared to a Bayer sensor? I suspect we are talking about 1.5 million 4 color pixels, and 1 million 3 color pixels respectively. Sometimes I think digital folks are all bankers at heart (If we went back on the gold standard would the dollar be worthe 1/350 of an ounce, or 1/7500 of an ounce of gold?).
