    Good read. Funny how I always thought the sensor read rgb, instead of simple light levels in a filter pattern.

      For a while the best/fanciest digital cameras had three CCDs, one for each RGB color channel. I’m not sure if that’s still the case or if the color filter process is now good enough to replace it.
