Video and still imaging are ENTIRELY different things.  Video can handle the
"amorphous" images it gets from three sensors...and as far as "better color
response", that's another one of those things like "sharpness".  A two pixel
cameras is sharper than any photograph you can get!  But, that's
meaningless.
