Commentary: Engineer/Management Interviews Tell me Nothing

[ultrasound]

Wonderful--in the vein of Mad Magazine's famous line "All the news that fits, we print" the Canon interview was a perfect example. Thanks for real answers.

Seriously--no one has written a word I've seen on light loss associated with the R " moire unfilter". With wide angle lenses, I'd guess any extra optical layers would increase vignetting, and maybe a little light loss would up noise. Any comments?

Also, what's the overall quantum efficiency of this sensor--that is how much of the light is actually converted to e-h pairs? i.e. how big are the cracks in the sidewalk compared to the paving stones? With smaller pixels, maybe the efficiency suffers more than proportionally.

Hi PropeNonComposMentis.
I'd guess a good many of us got the analogy, I did, but have little or no idea of the answer to the question or the science behind it.
Sorry, no thousand yard stare, a brief quizzical look, then on to the next post! ;D

Cheers, Graham.

Hi ultrasound, I assume you are not the Transformer Decepticon that goes by many names in the original animated series
Its rather sad around here. If you make mention of Actual Real Life Science, or Reality in general, it would seem that everyone looses interest. :
I can only imagine people sitting at their screens, deadpan expression, 1000yard stare, like some scene from Dr Who where the Bad Guy hijacks everyone's brains via the Net'....

"cracks in the sidewalk " Obviously still way too technical.
I dont dare use the full 'proper' term, in case someone has a stroke.

Good luck dude. Party on...
