PS - hey, you also know when the manufacturers say a sensor has, say, 10 mpixels, that they're counting the total number of photosites on the sensor?
So the image that you get at the end may have 10 million full colour pixels, but it was derived from a sensor with 10 million photosites which are typically covered with either a red, green or blue filter (or cyan, magenta and yellow). So each photosite isn't actually capturing a full colour dot.
Fascinating, I didn't know, I'll try to find a little time to read exactly how this works. If you have a mitute, could you give a brief explanation of how we finally get a full colour dot for each pixel out of a single color photosite? Thanks!
As for the 3'' VGA resolution screens, I'm looking forward to seeing them, such resolution in a relatively small screen seems like a giant leap forward.
