Well, not IME.  I still have had to use a neutral density filter.  You're
not really "tossing away a third of the light" anyway with the Bayer pattern
filters.  It's a matter of picking an appropriate filter density for the
sensitivity of the sensor combined with the exposure time to give a minimum
of noise.  If you don't have a filter, most sensors will bloom way too
easily.
