Looks like the prospects of Someone (Anyone) making a non-bayer filter Sensor
to compete against Sigma's Fovenon Sensor has switched status from "wished-for"
to "possible".
Canon has filed a patent for a way to design a multi layered imaging sensor so
someone at Canon has at least put some level of work into designing a
Non-Bayer-Filtered imaging sensor. Of note to myself in the article is that
Canon is a manufacturer of imaging sensors so there exists a route 'in house'
to make a design a reality and some institutional experience in coming up with
workable designs and avoiding the pitfalls (in theory anyway). So, there exists
reason to hope a patent for them carries more weight than if Tom the Tinkerer
from Topeka had filed the patent.
