Sales pitch, or truth?   |
Hi Ken
I think there is a bit of truth in the sales hype! All things being equal, using a colour filter wheel and a B&W ccd usually produces a higher resolution image with better colour depth. Each pixel is dedicated to receiving its full quota of photons.
With a one-shot colour ccd, I understand that there are tiny lenses on-board the chip which split the incoming light into RGB, so less photons fall on each pixel and the resolution is inferior because of the "gaps" between pixels dedicated to the "same colour".
Therefore, I would vote for Mr Bird. Any techo's out there please feel free to correct me!
Cheers
