Hi Dave,

Yes, that was the exact point.

I do have questions on the diagrams they show in that referenced link.  I am
NOT a physicist...but I am an engineer with varying degrees.  They show on
the top, that blue filter blocks green and red, and green filter blocks red
and blue etc.

Well, on the bottom, they show blue passes green and red, and green passes
red only.  How does that work?

Also, it would appear to me there may possibly be a depth of focus issue
with this sensor...

I would understand a sensor array that has three sensors per pixel...with a
triple filter over each of the three sensors (the three sensors on the same
plane), but I don't understand the stacked sensors...  What IS good about
their discussion though, is they separate out sensors vs pixels ;-)

Austin
