If true and expanded, this will be an game changing innovation.

One way to avoid conflict is to focus on the issue and leave people out of it. Its not necessary to correct another person who has a different opinion, at least not repeatedly.

Could we make this into a sticky?

There are some of our members who need to keep reading this until they understand it.

The commentators still seem to think it's a hoax, given the discrepancies and errors in all of the data. Take it for what you will.

.....Now if it were Canon .....

really?

So long as it has an adapter so I can use my Canon glass investment I am happy

What about a reliability standpoint, moving parts are subject to failure. So does having a moving color filter make it more prone to failure?

I just...thought I'd quote this, maybe make it stand out more. So far, guys with WAAY more knowledge than any of us here regarding sensor technology think the whole thing is a cleverly deployed hoax. It could be real...but, these guys usually don't claim hoax unless there is something really wrong with the information...

The entire concept seems infeasible at first glance. Among other things, it trades a spatial shift between colors for a temporal shift, which is probably very undesirable....
