Walter,
It's a remarkable effect when it's working. I wonder how much is the
sensor and how much is in the firmware?"
Hi Charlie & Walter,
to chime in blithely based on theoreticals, readings, and no empirical
experience! It is my "firm" understanding that the 'benefits' of the Fovenon
sensor over the other players to achieve a 'Ektar 100' film like feel is that
each color sensing channel is an independent layer (as in film) which is
stacked one upon another. This is 'opposed' to the Bayer Filter model in the
Nik-Con-Oly et-al paradigm where all the sensor sites are on one plane and the
bayer filter divides each site up to determine color. ... huh?...
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST!
I can 'understand' the Fovenon explanations I've read because the analogies to
film jive with me, but I have yet to make sense of the Bayer Filter concepts. I
inevitably chalk it up to 'ok - it works, that's enough' then I move on because
it makes my head hurt pondering it.
Please enlighten. I have suffered the arrows of blithely chiming in - I slew
myself. :-)
I also somehow can't help but seeing the Fovenon vs Bayer Filter fight as
analogous in some ways to the vhs/beta and the HD DVD/Blu-Ray fights.
Circumstances outside of 'best one' determined the winners and losers.
