Kodak introduces a new color filter array:
Jun 14, 2007

Looks like they are going away from the good old RGBG.

The new sensor will trade color resolution for sensitivity.

Half the pixels are unfiltered (collect luminosity data directly), 1/4 of them are green, 1/8 of them are blue, and 1/8 are red. Here's an illustration:

Interesting!
